Description

My husband found this WW II German Nazi Helmet. There are two  numbers inside, one is 066 and the other 471. It is missing interior leather and chin strap and there is some rust. Interested in if anyone could give info on numbers inside, maybe where it came from, and an estimated price a collector would pay.

$500 would be the retail for a store...however I have noticed stores price these items much above real value because they sit on the shelf a while.  Collectors usually find things cheaper from individuals, estate sales etc and usually pay less than a website would pay.  I would say $200-$300 would be a fair price to sell it for, with $250 being fair.  If someone were desperate for it to complete their collection you may get $300-400...$500 would be a stretch and would have to be listed online in classifieds and might sit there for 2 years before it sells.  These type items have a range of value because so many were made in different years, models etc that more information and pictures would be necessary to give a true/accurate assesment.  Wear and condition has an effect on value as well and I cannot see the condition well from 1 picture so I am giving you a 'ballpark'.  I spent about 30 hours this weekend researching a German sidecap my grandfather collected when he was a U.S. rifleman in WWII so I saw many items this week and am basing my pricing off research...search around the web if you need more info, I have a few more links if you can't find anything.  Here is one:

I'm very interested because I sold a similar helm 15 years ago in Germany and my father found it too
Looking forward to your reply.

O66 is the shell size and the other number is just a serial number from the production line.

How much would you take for it? Does it have the leather liner and chin strap?
