Product Overview
The Imperial German Army began to replace the traditional leather Pickelhaube (spiked helmet) with the Stahlhelm (German for "steel helmet") in 1916. This helmet provided superior protection over other countries' designs due to the skirt that covered the side and back of the wearer's head. This helmet became a symbol of the infamous SS in the 1930's. It was superseded by newer models but was still in use until the end of WWII by second line and home guard units. Our reproduction is high quality with rolled steel edges, dark green matted finish, leather adjustable head liner and chin strap.
