Nice - looks like a radioman.  Searchable...perhaps not identifiable as there are a number of "wb johnson" names to look through. Even so, an uncommon painted AND rate marked set.

OK, here is the kicker......seller is asking $1200!

How much is to much?
 

 

I PM'd you my thoughts, I'd say $350-500 tops.

That sounds about right. As it sits without a positive ID I was thinking in the ballpark of $400 would be fair.

really nice set and I love that blue 

I agree, a simple plane Jane fixed bail is starting to get pretty expensive these days, one pained, named, with a Hawley, i'd say you should look to pay something like 600, maybe 700

OMG! $1,200 is insane for a USN lid, even if it is a radio man and has a Hawley.  I'd give $400 to $450. Anything more is ridiculous. Helmet pricing should be based on long term trends, not on the last five sales on Ebay in which some collectors with itchy fingers and too much money are thinking they are grabbing a diamond when in fact USN lids are more like cubic zirconium.

I'd agree with the $400-450 figure, that Hawley Liner is pretty seriously crushed. But, it's still a nicely painted helmet that I'm sure could be identified with some research.
