Re: WWII German Navy (Kriegsmarine) Helmet
Nice helmet, and in good condition. Most like this rarely sell for less than $850.00, many over $1000.00, but you'd need to have it physically appraised.
Re: WWII German Navy (Kriegsmarine) Helmet
Lovejoy,
I had contacted the seller and my thoughts turned out to be correct. It is not a kriegsmarine helmet. It is a heer helmet, and the value is obviously not of the same level as a kriegsmarine. Just posting this incase anyone has a similar helmet in the future. Feel free to contact me if you do have a similar helmet or any military helmet for that matter, and I'll try to help figure out exactly what you have.
