Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
Unfortunately IMO, even if it was a good M42, someone has taken out
the liner - God knows why - just to show everyone the markings ? ! ?
It has instantly become a 'Messed With' helmet which should cut
any value in half and destroy any serious collector interest.
I don't know about the decal or the originality of the liner,
but the 'camo' is most probably post-war applied.........

Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
Thanks for that Steve and see your point. Unfortunately this is the condition that I acquired it in.
What approx value do you estimate this helmet having now.
-
Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
sorry, but the decal and paint look bad as well, decal looks like a bigfoot fake
-
Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
Not for me unless dirt cheap I'm afraid. The camo is bad I feel but I am not 100% on the decal as the pics are too bad really to judge it, probably also bad though.
-
Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
This just has parts value now, liner and shell which would be minimal value because of the fake paint and decal that would require stripping.
-
Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
I agree , fake decal and repainted shell. I doubt even the leather of the liner is original. No real collector value but maybe some kid would be interested in it.

Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
isnt that 'knife' edge to the helmet instead of a rolled edge, a sign of it being Spanish?
-
Re: Opinions on this helmet, please.
Isn't the liner leather in pic 3 different from the liner in the "egg" on the other pics?

It's an M42 helmet. They had unrolled edges to simplify production.
