Hi and welcome to the forum!

Prices on these vary according to condition. Most that appear on the market are ground dug examples like the ones you show. Are you looking to buy or sell them?

I have a set myself in my collection.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks ,Dimas
Do I make any damage to them if I sandblast them and tig weld rusted parts,then respray?

I would not do anything to them at all. I think that would spoil them. They will sell much better "as is". Not everyone will want a "restored" set.

I paid $120 for my set.

Cheers, Ade.

Restoring must be professional, not just a painted steel, but also making the liner for that. In your case better as is.

Hi Pierre, this pattern of body armour is WW2 in date, Made from 1942 onwards, but not made after the war ended.
