Great, I am a helmet collector ( besides love al militaria realted ) great helmets BTW!! do you know how much money can reach a post war para helmet? I am looking for one of those.
I have the plastic with the leather flaps, quite nice helmet!
Love the US cover on helmet nr.1 !!

Hi Poli, Thanks for the question , the prices for British Para helmets can variey .The Steel one from the 50-70,s can now make 150 pounds 210euros +or - .
The early plastic 82 type helmets with plastic straps are now very very hard to find and can make 200 pounds ,260euros+of-.
Later ballistic fibre Para helmets can be found on ebay a lot but a good one should cost less than 50 pounds ,78euros+or-(but make sure the chinstraps are Para type and NOT ordinary GS Mark 6 straps ,because a lot of non Airborne troops wore the Para helmet as it,s lighter).
hope that helps
Ollie
