US WWI M-8 Experimental Helmet

[MilitariaOne]

Greetings Dwight,

Agreed, more of an “investment” piece or high end collector’s item. Definitely not a “starter helmet” for the newer collector;-) I think the price reflects its market rarity and there are those who can afford it. Not my cup of tea (even if you quartered its price), but since it was of topical interest in this thread I thought it’d be worth sharing.

Regards,

Lance

Here a WWII lid with visor
WWII U.S. Photographers helmet - a very different lid!

Very cool looking lid, though the broken tongue puts me off, only a mint one for me, LOL. Yeah beyond my budget, but very cool all the same.
