M40 Mexican Army Helmet

[mstgracy]

I am a collector of TOO MANY things and I really had no concept of what this item was until I did a search on this site. If I could ask your opinion as to what I should charge for this item I put it on EBAY at $29.99? Is that an appropriate price should I have asked for more? Less? Heres a link to the photo.

I hope that works so you can see it and let me know any information you can.

Thanks again.

Kyle.

Hi Kyle, welcome to the forum!

To me, that sounds like a fair starting price? Always better to start lower than higher, as it tends to attract interest and so more potential bidders. Usually things will find their price level on E bay.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade! Do you know any information more than I've placed on the page about the helmet?

At least they are not easy to find helmets, IMO the price for completed helmet must be around 300-500 USD or even more, and there is not available to find them in open militaria market.

hey people...
I own two mexican adrians,(which are slight diferent one from the other). I bought them here in mexico where i live. they are not soooo rare, althrough usually liner and badge are missing. I posted them here in WRF,you can look ´em up if you are interested. Usually here they go for around 30 to 60 USD, all depending on your bargain-talent. They where used during the 30´s and 40´s, and eventually got replaced by the M1.. The small shiny badge ona a pictured helmet is a modern mexican replacement for the lost original one..
Hope i could enlighten you a bit.
