Here you can see the 4th peeking out from under the 5th decal

Cool, I haven't seen one of those appear in a while.

is it really worth any more than 80 bucks???

 

a painted helmet from the US in 1972?

If you're looking at this from the standpoint of retail re-sale worth, then the answer to your question is, no...it probably isn't worth more than $80.00 plus or minus. But to a collector of helmets that just loves the look of this one, despite its ambiguous military history (4th Army has no combat record), then it's worth whatever somebody chooses to pay. I've often paid well above retail or even collector monetary value for something because it's an item that I really wanted to add to my collection and display, and to me at least, it was well worth the price I paid. Too often, collectors get hung up on the price and overlook the "value."
