Check it out. I got an authentic steel helmet from 1942. Anyone care to guess the value? I have no idea, but I sure as hell want to get it appraised.

Um ok, What countries helmet? The German WW1 helmuts were very exotic, but cool.

It's funny how we (the US) use the same helmet now as the germans did during WW2...

ive worn both (one for fun, one for a living) and they are NOT the same... shape is similar, but not spot on, and materials and balance are completely differant as are the actual parts that you wear (the head ring and chin strap)...

Yeah I knew it wasn't *exactly* the same but was obviously based on the same concept.
