Hello, Julekpl again. I am interested in purchasing a ww1 butcher bayonet, but I’m not too sure how to tell if one maker is more rare than another. I know the ones with the saw back are worth far more, and of course the condition. Any information helps! Thanks

Another ebay find. It is a McCord WWII era helmet that I got for $40 total (with shipping).
I think it must have been a former FB due to the low heat lot number 99A - any thoughts on that idea?
Also, was it a Navy helmet?
Lastly, what type of liner would you put in it?
Obviously a WWII era liner but was there any special color or maker for Navy helmets?
Thanks
Anton

Ok so I’ve owned this helmet a few years (since school actually) My friends grandad gave it to me and I am now ready to sell it on and I really would like to know more about it I need to know about the paint!!! The decal looks good, the helmet look alright and the liner looks good but there is some kind of wounding to it (shrapnel maybe? I don’t know) that’s been hammered back down (reissue?) but the helmet has been painted or lacquered on the outside and painted black on the inside??? Any Info would be extremley helpful!! pictures to follow..

Got it in the mail today. Any additional thoughts now that I have some closer photos of the cockades and chinstrap? The national cockade appears to be pretty old and faded. Should I be put off at all that the chinstrap has brass fittings? I know the dealer is a reputable one, but I was hoping for an extra set of eyes and opinions just to be safe. Its advertised as all original. Do the chinstrap and cockades look right?
