Can any one tell me anything about this helmet?

Now this is an interesting specimen. Its original colors (or actually, camouflage) seems to have faded over the years or been chipped away somehow - but it's nothing more than a WWI-vintage Stahlhelm as used by the Imperial German Army. I can't tell which precise model (it was first issued in 1916) it is, but the faded signs of camouflage painting makes it a very fascinating object.
