Re: IRAQI Republican Guard helmet recently sold on ebay for over $405
WOW, that's some crazy stuff, I remember i could buy those from some Haji markets at Scania,and others throughout Iraq, and in Kuwait for really cheap, and they are selling for the much.
Thats really crazy..
I still have some buddies in Iraq right now, May be I'll email them and tell them to pick me 10 of them and mail them home to me.

I heard they dont allow people to bring helmets back so easily anymore and they are kind of hard to get now?

I'll find out when he returns my email, but when i was there on my last tour, we was still allowed to bring home bayonets, uniforms, and such, as long its not weapon related, and yes i know of several other's that did bring , and shipped home Iraqi helmets.

I don't see the Iraqi gear becoming as collectible as WW2German items do, since the Iraqi gear is mostly 2nd hand surplus gear from other countries.
Plus the German uniforms, and gear was made with so much more quality, and attention to details, unlike the Iraqi gear.
Don't get me wrong, there will always be a market for Iraqi gear, but never like there is for WW2 German items, especially SS.

I wouldnt be surprized if some sellers tried faking Republican Guard markings to increase the value on helmets.
the camo is so crude, almost anybody could paint a few splotches on a IRAQI helmet and say they found it that way

You would be surprised as that was what a lot of helmets i saw in Iraq, actually had that crude paint on them, and majority of them were just helmets shells, with no shrapnel protection at all.
