Need help from specialists in helmets, Helmets specialist needed

[Alexei2102]

Hello gentlemen,

I am in a middle of a transaction, namely a swap. We are already agreed on items on my part, but I am in a dilemma. I always wanted to have some helmets in my collection, and now I have to choose from a whole plethora of them.

Basically, I have to choose from these helmets (shells). I will post pictures of all of them. My end of the bargain is an item worth about USD 600. So, in a nutshell, I need your help in choosing some helmets from the above, in order to meet this marker.

Thank you very much for your help,

Alex

Hello Alexei2102 If I had to choose from this helmet I would take first the helmet nr 2 because it has remains of the heer decal (is this helmet also redon?) , and second the helmet nr 1 because the shell is in good condition and it also has the rivets. The helmet nr 3
is also good but I see that some holes were redon and I don't like redon helmets

Hallo Alexei2102:

can you show any pictures of the inside of the helmets as well, while 3 has remains of the decal it also has quite bad rust damage on the top, which in my opinion cancels out the desireability

The other two would be interesting as a restoration project, until you can find an original with good condition and a good original paint job.

These are only shells with no inners.

I would not pay more thab 35 dollars for Number 1 because of the condition.

about 30 for number 2 again because of the repair work.

and number 3 even with a poor remains of a decal at 25 dollars, there are far better helmets available out there.

Guess where the helmets with a round hole on the top (centered) are taken from...
A clue maybe? The hole comes from a rivet...Well?

In my opinion, these helmets worth smth. like 30-35$ each.

yea his right the helmets are not worth more then 20-35 $ they have then selling on ebay with this price.
i would not buy these helmets if i dont intend to restore them. But thats hard work and the value will go down.
now if i would find such helmets on the battlefield myself then i would keep then as a relic find and it would be a personal value not $ wize.
good luck with the search for that perfect helmet
