Looks like a nice original Luftwaffe M-42 helmet. I would say price would be from $450-650. Kind of a wide margin but it depends on where it's comming from and how bad you want it.

Thx Raymond, im in the ballpark with the price, a little under the top end, $600 incl shipping if I take it and so far from what I'm hearing the helmet is good and price decent. Was a little worried about the liner, not being stained like it was worn, can tell you this must have been a small trooper, doesnt fit my head lol. Cory

They used wire wraped around the helmet and put foliage for camouflage. The ones on this helmet look like they were used as hooks. Maybe to hang the helmet when not in use. I believe a similar helmet sold here for $650, so I don't think you can go wrong buying it. With a size 57 liner it's probably a size 64 shell. This is the most common size.

The hooks were used to attach netting.
