FJ Helm

Yes, more than twice the current market price...

Thank everyone for your opinions!

What is the current market price for a good, genuine m38? Maybe a difficult question...

[Willi Z.]

Lots of variables: decal or not, aluminum bolts, spanner bolts, slotted steel bolts, zinc liner band, aluminum liner band, condition, etc, etc. They all represent the value. The one in question is worth less than $4k today.

[RubenStrating]

Does that mean prices are going down?

[Willi Z.]

Yes, they have been for several years. They are not rare.

That's interesting, Willi. Do you mean the late war FJ helmets in particular or all FJ helmets?
I've been looking for a tropical FJ and the prices seem as astronomical as ever!

Camo FJ m38's keep their value fairly well, but all have come down over the last few years, particularly non-camo's (with or without the decal)
