How to value a helmet shell

[Infanteer]

I have a very decent SD army M40 shell but it only has the helmet band inside and no leather for whatever reason. I obtained it in a trade deal and am looking to sell it now, but I am having a very hard time deciding how to price it as most helmets on the market are complete. Anyone have any advice for me?

Oh, and the chinstrap is a repro and will be removed before selling

Hello

If everything else is original to this helmet ( excluding the CS). If the outer ring ,inner ring and split pins have never been played with ,I would say between $350 and $400 , about half the value.
Hope this will help you.

The split pins and bands are original and tightly in place, but not original to the helmet. So, I guess this is not worth very much since it has been messed with too much. Maybe I'll just hang onto to it then as it does display very well.

It may have more value to you as a display piece. It looks pretty neat as it is. The value would be further reduced by having the band "played with", but not enough to say it "junk". I think you could sell it on the e-stand for $250-$300 pretty easily, IMHO. By the way, what size and maker?

I need one new Shell .

The shell is marked EF66. The liner band is dated 1940 and is a size 58. I would have thought that this would have had more value as I see parts such as the liner band and split pins sell for quite a bit on their own on certain sites. Maybe I should separate the shell from the liner band and sell everything individually to get the price I am looking for.

I agree that $250-$300 is a reasonable price as-is.

Fantastic... thanks for the responses guys. I've had a few people show some interest so I will probably sell it after all.
