very nice hope you paid your picker well

i did indeed,,,have to give them good money to get the good stuff,,,he knew about what it was worth,he made a good score,,,

Excellent pick up......

Wow very nice (if its real) probably in my favourite sort of condition complete but used . Rob

this and a small party banner came from the vet's attic,according to my picker friend,,

On the back of the helmet, top left, it appears a smaller caliber bullet hit the shell flat on/sideways at subsonic speeds..you can see the outline of the projectile.

Whether or not this happened in combat, or after in attempts to tart up the helmet for the homefront, we will never know!!

Looks ok in those small pictures.
Lucky You!! Congrats.
Is it a name I see on the inside rim?

Very nice!

Nice m 42 EF decaled ss helmet. Congrats.

About what would one like this sell for these days?

IMO a fair market value would be around $5,500.00; some dealers may charge more, someone needing money RIGHT NOW may take less. but I think that's a good 'average.'

Nice helmet!

Wow! I had no idea an M42 would ever sell for that amount. Living in the past, I guess.
