SergeantMajorGray Posted December 11, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2012 I was at my crappy local surplus store today and found a big box of pasgt helmet covers. It was a mix of woodland and choc chip covers and a few desert camo ones. Is $2.50ea a good deal? I'm sure it is but they were also selling smelly pasgt helmets without covers for 95$ the only reason I didn't get one is because I don't have a pasgt myself.

sgtdorango Posted December 11, 2012 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2012 I would buy them all day long for that price...i usually see them at the local army/navy store for $4-$8 and i will pick up the interesting ones, graffitti, early dates, patched or rank marked etc.......mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantMajorGray Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted December 11, 2012 I don't think any of them had anything on them but I didn't go through the whole box. Also on the choc chip covers next to the dsa number and size it said parachutist helmet do they all have that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgawne Posted December 11, 2012 Share #4 Posted December 11, 2012 I think that there are a number of small or X small ones on the market that go that cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantMajorGray Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted December 11, 2012 Almost all were medium/large I only found one small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdorango Posted December 11, 2012 Share #6 Posted December 11, 2012 Oh yeah, thats also a factor, size matters!....they are cool to have and there are actually alot of variations in the colors and there are some that were made without the foliage slits during Desert Storm.....mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayj Posted December 11, 2012 Share #7 Posted December 11, 2012 Almost all were medium/large I only found one small. I think for the size, they are a good price, shows in my area "try" to get 10 to 15 for them. Good find... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uplandmod Posted December 11, 2012 Share #8 Posted December 11, 2012 Go for it! I don't collect recent Militaria but I would pick them up at that price! LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMI88 Posted December 11, 2012 Share #9 Posted December 11, 2012 That's a good price but you're not going to retire off them. Get what you want for yourself and maybe a few to sell, but the market is limited and prices low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manchu Warrior Posted December 11, 2012 Share #10 Posted December 11, 2012 I once purchased about ten or so at a flea market for $1.00 a piece. I put them in the same box in the top of my closet with about fifteen or so East German visors that I purchased at the surplus store for $4.00 a piece. Who knows what may happen in the future?
