What is this helmet?

[Ron C.]

I may be able to pick up this helmet, but I do not know what kind it is or what would be a fair price to pay for it. The liner is sort of similar to a WW2 German one in some ways, but it is obviously a fairly new helmet, i.e. the web strap etc..

Can anyone tell me about it?

Thanks,
Ron

fair price?

this is the last model of the Czech M53 and has very low collector value

around $15.98 - $19.98 retail

thats how much they cost at the surplus stores, about the same value as those late model East German helmets from Cheaper than Dirt

Hi,

I've paid 2 Vz 53, 1 and 3,5 euros on ebay, it's very very common !

Thanks. I think I will get it, maybe someone will buy it at a yard sale and I can double to triple my money on it.

if your buying it for resale, I would pass on it, most people are looking for the earlier models

the Czech M53 was also exported to other third world armies in large quantity

African, Vietnam, Middle eastern and others

Sorry.......didn't see your message until after I went to get it here locally, already moved it.....but I may be able to get another. I don't actively collect military any longer.
