Question M18(?) Found at antique toy store

By chance, I stopped by an antique toy store the other day. Beyond toy trains and erector sets, they had a few odds and ends, sports memorabilia, etc.

Low and behold, they had three helmets. Going from left to right… a brodie, a US Civil Defense with "Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941" written on it with golden paint, aaaand what appears to be an M18 transitional helmet.

The man behind the counter was grumpy. He let me inspect the helmets, but would not let me take pictures… so I snapped this sneaky picture.

I am interested in the M18. The helmet itself is in good shape, but the liner is literally in tatters and is bundled up in a plastic bag.

I may be interested in the brodie as well… but it had a leather liner I’ve never seen before. Perhaps it was a helmet produced after WW1 and used before the M1 steel pot was adopted?

What do you guys think? What is a fair price for the two helmets I’m interested in?

Question Heer Trap?

I just got this and wonder if it looks good and what style is it considered to be? What cap was typically worn on…side-cap?,M43? Any feedback is welcome..except for negative feedback! LOL..J/K.

Opinions on M40 police helmet appreciated

Looking at an M40 police helmet, do not know much about these types so I was looking for help on this one.

I suppose my main concerns are:

Is the paint correct? Are the decals original (I am waiting for closer pictures of them)? Does anything jump out at you as not being correct? And lastly, what it is worth?

Thanks, your opinions are appreciate!

Alec
