Thanks so much for all the guidance. I sent a pic of the helmet but we will see if it comes through. There is no liner in it, just a band and tiny bits of the chin strap. I just purchased several German items, and of course now comes the task of finding what I want to keep and what is to go. Thanks again to all you so much. Regards Cookie you could use imageshack for showing the pictures (upload them there and use the URL here) the value is of course determined by the kind of troops that used it(you can often see it by the emblem on the front) and condition of the helmet. as already suggested, you can compare the helmet in value with similar ones on the internet, but of course the gents here are always willing to help. kind regards, Roeland
