Lot 90German M-16 Steel Combat Helmet Captured at the Battle of Montauban 1918

German M-16 Steel Combat Helmet Captured at the Battle of Montauban 1918
German M-16 Steel Combat Helmet Captured at the Battle of Montauban 1918, untouched example of a model 1916 steel combat helmet which retains much of the original field grey paint finish to the exterior of the shell and interior. Helmet has the correct leather liner band and three brown leather liner pads. Helmet is also complete with its original chinstrap which is very rare to find. Written to the rear skirt of the helmet is “Montauban 1918”. Shell is stamped to the side “ET 64”. Some pitting to the exterior and leather liner pads are dry and slightly damaged in places. The capture of Montauban was of importance to the allied forces during the Battle of the Somme, with it being captured on the 1st July 1916, it would later be re-taken by the Germans during the Spring offensive in 1918 and then re-taken by the British 18th Eastern Division on 26th August 1918 during the second battle of Bapaume.
