If it is a 60 it would be a very small and rare size.

Surely it depends on the asking price? I wouldnt say this looks like crap, i'd say it was a dam good helmet, but it all depends on your standards. Many collectors would be thrilled with a helmet like this, and it must surely be worth £5-600 (or more)? If the asking price is good, go for it!

With helmets its all about condition. Damaged decals like this can be near impossible to resell unless at a large loss. As well, what makes an asking price "good"? Everyone's definition of a good price will be different, hence best to pass on something like this unless you are prepared for a hit in the wallet when you go to sell it.

I know size matters as the saying goes. And a 60 is small how often do you see a helmet that size, not that often.Would that not be a good selling point if purchased at a good price and sold in the future? The alder is in good condition. The liner is good the paint is good. Doug has a great point about condition is everything and he is correct. But, When was the last time a size 60 or 70 was posted? Offer 400-450.00 U.S . I think you would be safe. Marty

I see them a lot for sale. For me condition is everything , not size , not price.
Only 70's and higher command a better price if the condition is right.

The small size would put me off, I have one 62 in my collection that I regret buying as it looks like a child's helmet. A 60 would probably fit my cat.

A 60 is small I have a 62 and the largest I have is a 68, a larger size will increase the price by a 1/3. But it's like everything in collecting you've got to have one of each one heers, one ss, ........etc. To each there own. Marty

[Tank Destroyer]

sorry. To each their own not there

I do not agree , I have sold very good NS 68 double decal Luftwaffe recently and it was not 30% more expensive and I had to seriously discount it. Nor do I see dealers asking more for a 68.
62's are a good size to have and very representative together with 64 - 66.
Besides isn't originality most important ?
