And an idea of the value ?

And an idea of the value ?

At a guess, I would say $6k for the helmet, and $8k for the torn cover.

Hi Steve

A little bit overpriced IMO. The cover is rare but he has a big hole. The helmet is standard with a line a little torn.
Are you ready now to buy with your offer ?

I would say 5K for the helmet and 8/7 k for the cover

Hi David,

Quite right. I was assuming the cover was torn at the rim. If it actually has a big hole, then that seriously affects the collectability and the price.

I hope it goes to a good home !

Amazing discovery!

While very tough to find, IMO the values stated are still too high and do not properly reflect the condition of both.

Is this another case of a liner too large for the shell? The crumpling of the liner seems similar to at least one previously posted on the forum. Assuming that is the case, presumably this is a pre-45 arrangement, given the overall appearance of the helmet.

A very nice item (from someone who has yet to graduate to para helmet ownership!).

i have another opinion abaut ,as the small size helmets looks a bit funny on the head some soldiers used biger size shells and bent the inside liner band for good fit.
