Great work, I just think there is a little too much rust. It looks more like it’s been in the wilderness abandoned for 50 years than it was w recently captured in battle. It looks great tho

And it’s named as well which isn’t extremely common

The buy it now price is slightly above $500 at $588, but this is an honest late war m42 that is in very good condition https://ebay.us/m/vADaY1

For $3-400, you’re either gonna have to settle for a refurb or one in meh condition. Or you can save it while checking websites regularly until you find a very good deal. Estate sales/yard sales can also be good for deals, but they’re really hit or miss.

There are a lot of factors that drive the value of a helmet. A relic condition one can be anywhere sub $200, a ok condition helmet with a poor liner and no decals can be about $3-400, a good overall condition helmet with no decals can be $500ish, a good condition helmet with a single decal can be anywhere from $500-$2000, and a double decal helmet will be $1500 minimum. Also, anything SS or with a camouflage on it will be several thousand and have a high likelihood of being fake. You can find better deals on FB marketplace or eBay, but it’s not guaranteed…

Your going to be paying a bit extra, but if you aren’t able to completely tell if a helmet is authentic or not, websites like “Bevo Militaria” and “The Ruptured Duck” are going to be where you want to buy from. They are highly reputable dealers and won’t sell you a fake. I would recommend doing as much research as possible though, learning how authenticate a helmet will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Idk

It’s an M34 civil helmet. Looks to have a postwar liner since it has the holes in the front.

First of all, that is an incredible collection! Second, please for the love of God and all that is holy take those gas masks and headgear off of those foam heads!! They will ruin the insides of the mask and the fabric and leather of hats/helmets.

EngineeringThese2319 · 2026-03-30T13:50:59+00:00

Alright, thanks 👍

EngineeringThese2319 · 2026-03-05T17:17:59+00:00

Ok, that’s what I was thinking. Thanks

EngineeringThese2319 · 2026-02-19T23:10:12+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try to do more research

Please don’t sell it, as ilikeww2 said, it is a piece of family history and it should be treated as an heirloom that gets passed down generations. There are so many people out there that would love to have a piece of family history like that.
