My guess is either a pistol shot, or just really long range. Still, it must have laid this dude flat on his back.

Excellent thread! Here is mine, I have had for over 25 years. Does anyone know the significance of the red stripe across the front. It is marked Peronne France 1917 and 2 names, one on the outside and one on the inside. The name on the outside I believe is the person who brought the helmet back to Canada. It was given to me by my uncle who recieved it from the vets son, for helping to paint a barn back in the 70s. Note it has been camo'd twice!

MARKING of Peronne is on inside as well



Interior. With Liner removed there is another name scripted in the shell.
This is one of my favorite helmets because of the charachter and history and the mystery of the red line painted on the front.
It was suggested that possible Freikorps marking but I dont think so as the helmet I believe was "liberated" in 1917 by advancing Canadians.

Okay...

Here are some of my camos...

The one in the middle is still dirty from storage... and I was too lazy to clean/wipe it down... with an oily rag.

nice helmets

There are some awesome helmets on this thread.

The M16 is my favorite type...just a mean looking helmet with horns.

This M16 was overpainted black but was able to remove most of it to show the original Camo pattern.













Inside al painted black well after the war.
