Helmet Help (I)

[PZIV]

Here is a nice size 62 I believe? This (nor any of the following helmets I will ask about) are in my collection. They are in a friend of mine's collection who has asked me to sell his items. Here are some of the best photos I can get. I am not a helmet guy though, so I will be needing your help.

I think this is an authentic one. I see a lot of maker marks on the liner as well as the shell itself. The shell says "EE62" (size I believe?) and then below it "3924"

Anyway I'll let the photos do the talking. He wants them all to be sold on e-bay to get the most money, but I'll try to talk him into letting WAFers get first pick. It's the least I could do for this community. What do you think this is worth?

Thanks

That's a nice EF62 M42, That should start at $450. Nice honest helmet.

I agree with Ty on the starting price. I recently upgraded and sold my old one and got close to this price. Mine, however, didn't have a drawstring or chinstrap.

NOTE: I think we should note the serial number as it will probably end up with a decal of sorts on it at some point. Sad but true!

Best,

Larry

Well I might want to sell to keep it to good WAF members instead of eBay where, like you say, it might get a decal slapped on.

This is not even my sale, so no I'm not trying to beat the WAF rules or anything.

right and correct in every way, right down to the gray painted buckle!
