ArchangelDM Posted July 12, 2019 Share #6 Posted July 12, 2019 Cover is the 3rd pattern and is original but does not look original to the helmet. liner has a makeshift leather sweatband thats been modified or mended. Helmet has been repainted - Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdorango Posted July 12, 2019 Share #7 Posted July 12, 2019 Legit original cover??.....mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted July 12, 2019 Share #8 Posted July 12, 2019 yep------------- keep the cover, dump the lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 12, 2019 Share #9 Posted July 12, 2019 Looks all original to me. Not sure why you'd take it apart and dump the lid but I would keep it together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickman983 Posted July 12, 2019 Share #10 Posted July 12, 2019 Anyone have an idea what the value of a put together USMC rigs like this is (assuming the helmet/liner were in a bit better condition)? I'd love to add a WWII USMC helmet at some point but I really don't know what a fair price for one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchangelDM Posted July 12, 2019 Share #11 Posted July 12, 2019 Looks all original to me. Not sure why you'd take it apart and dump the lid but I would keep it together... Cant see any rust marks on the helmet, which would indicate the rust marks on the camo dont match up making the helmet and the camo a put together. But then he could have repainted the lid at some time, just playing devils advocate on it. -Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted July 12, 2019 Share #12 Posted July 12, 2019 Helmet paint looks like a Korean War era paint job. Could be that the helmet was used in Korea, rust spots could have been painted over. This is just speculation though who knows. Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAF29thINFvet Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share #13 Posted July 12, 2019 Asking price for a set up like this? Guesstimates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichRaider Posted July 13, 2019 Share #14 Posted July 13, 2019 Probably between $350-$400 on eBay, but could go up to $450. If it had a name and or, the cover was attached to original helmet/not removed since the Marine/Sailor put it away, start at $550. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
