GERMAN WWI SH60 TRENCH HELMET including sniper scope number ‘4797’A rare example of the SH60 trench helmet, these were introduced just after the initial square dip helmet. A good degree of its original apple green finish remains, with scratches in the area where Third Reich decals may have been removed. Stamped SH60 to the interior shell with both of its strap clips still attached to the lugs and its full three pad liner with all tongues present, leather supple but without the inner pads.
