This helmet was a newer restoration, I used an original can of NOS paint, the color was a bit off but overall turned out well. This helmet is one of the first runs of the back seem swivel bail included with original late war chinstraps converted ( J Murray) and to top it off a stand in liner to show off the full beauty of the helmet. This is your basic Infantry steel pot with the shell and added chinstraps running the standard $100.

This helmet was found with a half installed reproduction mayflower liner which I finished installing repainted and added an NOS chinstrap as this helmet was used for my personal early war display. the paint is just a lighter mixture of my late war paint matched with pictures of  original helmets. this was a one off helmet and I will likely only except these as special request projects, they are extremely time consuming, and parts are hard to find. this helmet ran around $375.  

This helmet was done for a desert Storm veteran that was doing display for veterans day event. it was brought to me without paint, a broken chinstrap, and missing some liner components. It has an NOS  Liner band, and foam pad, as well as an early green paint textured with fine sand underneath the cover. the cover, band, and goggles, are all original, receiving slight weathering upon request, this helmet ran about $140. most of the cost was towards sourcing original parts overall a nice restoration.

This helmet was commissioned by a  reenactor who wanted a Norwegian post war clone helmet converted to a WW2 late war helmet for the 36th ID, It was stripped of it's blue finish, repainted and textured, and chinstraps replaced with  mid war OD3 chinstraps. the insignia was painted in a hasty like manor not using a stencil.  when looking at period photos, the insignia was never right in dimension, it was either two big and not proportionate, or too small and lop-sided. also noticed among higher ranking NCOs that the 1/2 inch net was used into Germany, definitely rare, but with the large rip suggesting it's seen previous campaigns. all around a very nice restoration (except for the corking job)  this helmet cost around $135 (not including shipping), a slightly more high profile restoration.

this helmet was a ton of fun to make. It is restored using a front seem  swivel bail McCord consistent with early to mid 44 helmets. I originally was researching 509th camouflage schemes and came across an old photo of three barn find camouflaged 509th helmets with medical tape tactical markings found in the small town of St. Tropez in southern France. seeing those I thought to myself that this would be an awsome helmet to recreate. of those three helmets I was suprised to find that only one of them was a D bale and the other 2 were both swivel bales. and only the D bale had a paratrooper liner. So I sought to create one of these oddball helmets using a standard infantry helmet. overall this helmet turned out pretty well and was an entertaining project. only thing is I wish I had weathered the chinstraps. this helmet would run about $145 including 2 Gingerbread men, a custom camouflage pattern sprayed and hand painted on and medical tape tactical marking on the rear of the helmet which is shown in the picture below.
