Two sd m40 heer helmets - which one to keep? Which to sell?

[anton67]

Hello,
I picked up a nice SD M40 Heer today and I need to sell one of these two helmets to make up the money.
Both are about the same size.
The first helmet (HELMET A) is in better condition with nice in tact chinstrap and liner but has a damaged decal.
The second helmet (HELMET B) is in a little worse condition with broken chinstrap and broken liner fingers but the decal is nice. The second helmet also has rust issues as shown.
Which to keep?
Which to sell?
Please help.

Up to you, but I always prefer the helmet with the most overall 'completeness', even if the decal is less quality. This is only because I'm not a huge fan of restoring my helmets, but keeping them as found.

I agree with this. I also would prefer the helmet in the best general condition. So if I were you I would keep helmet A (or you can sell both and buy a better one like Okoska said)

Thank you for all of your input on this.
It really is a tough decision.
Maybe I will sell both.

Any ideas on prices for each of them?

Considering the other one you just picked up........I'd sell both of these. They pale in comparison! Basically lesser duplicates to the one you are keeping.

Cheers,

Agree, good advise, or depending how much you paid, if it were me and I picked them up at for a good price, I would keep them both.
