The complete liner, sized at 58, bears minor damage, reflecting wear consistent with its wartime use. Accompanied by an original chinstrap, though not originally paired with the helmet, it is marked with a RB Number and shows signs of damage at one end.
This late war M18 helmet, repurposed for service in the Third Reich's Heer, stands as an excellent representation of wartime practicality. With its well-preserved features and subtle signs of wear, it offers a tangible connection to the historical context in which it served.
