Whether or not this happened in combat, or after in attempts to tart up the helmet for the homefront, we will never know!!

IMO a fair market value would be around $5,500.00; some dealers may charge more, someone needing money RIGHT NOW may take less. but I think that's a good 'average.' Nice helmet!
