This original M18 Stahlhelm shell is an authentic World War I German helmet shell. The suspension system is no longer present, leaving the shell only. The interior exhibits surface rust and age-related oxidation, while the exterior shows honest signs of age and wear consistent with its history. It displays well as an original relic from the First World War.

The M18 Stahlhelm was one of the final variants of the iconic German steel helmet developed during World War I. Building upon the earlier M16 and M17 patterns, the M18 introduced an improved liner attachment system while retaining the distinctive profile that became synonymous with German forces during the conflict. Original M18 shells remain highly collectible and are valued for their historical significance as one of the earliest modern combat helmets.
