GERMAN M16 DUCK BILL HELMET - BATTLE DAMAGED - BING

A very rare front line helmet by the scarce maker G.B.N. ( Gebruder Bing), better known for their top end tin plate toys.
This one has sustained battle damage with a shrapnel strike to the rear crown. It also looks like someone has then put 4 pistol rounds into the poor chap as there are outward dents with corresponding holes through the liner. The liner surprisingly is good with all 3 pads and leather band, one pad still with it's cushion and still with it's original draw string.
This is the correct size 64, the only size produced by Bing and has the scarce " Duck Bill" front visor found on these models.
The shell retains most of it's original field grey paint . The helmet is dusty and dirty, this is how it came to me and that is how all items go out.
Superb all original combat vet.
