WW1 US hemet

[MySonsDad]

I'm a little less excited about these helmets than other posters, the second helemt would be impossible to comment on until more photos are provided of inside and other details. As for the first, the liner appeares to be on great shape but I would question the originality of the chin strap. That being said, even if all original I don't see this helmet fetching more than $80-$100 usd as it is w/o any type of flash or other distictive markings. Most likely the USA on the front was someone handy work much later down the line and hurts the valure far more than it helps. Just my 2 cents.

Great helmets either way.

I like the USA one. I don't have any problem with the strap yet, given the condition of the liner and tag. Rather minty. The USA could have been done for veteran parades, who knows, no sure way to know. Well worth the $40.

You can't beet $40 for any M1917 that had a good liner........good deal!

perhaps I was a bit to excited at first if the USA on the helmet is period it could get $150 but the other would get around $80.
