I picked up a rather interesting helmet in an antiques shop yesterday. I saw it sitting on a shelf across the shop and immediately recognised it as being WW1. When I turned it over I saw straight away that it had been fitted with a WW2 liner. The original WW1 chinstrap is complete and still has the piece which passes around the dome. The liner has no makers marks that I can see, but looks as though it has been in the helmet since the upgrade was carried out. I don’t as a rule ask the value of militaria on here, but I would be interested to know what a modified helmet such as this would be worth? I knocked the price down to £62, but I’m still not sure if I paid over the odds!

Cheers,
Steve.
