Reproduction of German M16 Steel Helmet – Authentic Model from World War I with Leather Liner
German M16 helmet in a newly manufactured reproduction from Mil-Tec, based on the classic steel model introduced in 1916 during World War I. The helmet is made of 100% steel with correct shape and proportions, and is equipped with an inner helmet and chinstrap made from genuine leather.
The M16 helmet replaced the Pickelhaube as the standard helmet in the German army during the brutal reality of trench warfare. It is characterized by its deep helmet shell, protruding ventilation bolts on the sides, and reinforced protection around the neck and sides. This reproduction is made for reenactment, collecting, and film production – but is also used by enthusiasts of militaria and history.

Historical Background
The M16 helmet (Stahlhelm M1916) was adopted by the German army in the middle of World War I in response to the need for better head protection in the trenches. It was manufactured in pressed steel and became an iconic symbol for German soldiers on the Western Front. The design was later developed into the M18 and also formed the basis for the helmets used during World War II.
