Named M16

[Grabenmaxx]

This one just came in. I'm sure some will recognize it from the sale section of the forum.

I'm really pleased with it. The helmet looks great in person (if you can say that of a helmet, haha) with nice green paint present. Liner is in great condition. Pads all nicely filled like it should be. The chinstrap is unfortunately broken as you can see.
It has two names on the back "Walter Dank?" and another name that look like "Bürguin" or something. It's not clear. This name appears a second time in the front of the helmet. Also an ink stamp can be found on the leather.

Very nice. You'll have a hard time improving on that one.

Only one Walter Dank in the whole Verlustlisten, Leutnant der Landwehr from Königsberg. Lightly wounded summer 1918.

Verlustlisten 1. Weltkrieg, page 26351: Dank Walter (Königsberg i. Pr.)

I think the other name could be Bürgin...But there are a lot of them in the Verlustlisten...

Hi, unfortunately, I can't read it clearly either, but I suppose it's: BÜRGER ?
Best regards, Jens
