So I received this in a trade from a good friend, story is his uncle who served in WW2 brought this back. I’ve tried doing my research, but don’t know enough to ask a reasonable price on this helmet. I don’t want to rip someone off, or at the same time give it away due to funds being tied up in it. I would like to sell it to someone who actually collects WW2 gear. The numbers are hard to see due to the bunker concrete paint on the helmet, and I don’t want to do anything to the helmet. The dried out strap has broke in one place, and the stickers were put on by my friend as a child in the early mid 60s. Any help from someone who knows more about these than I do is much appreciated.

There are some facebook groups specifically on collecting german helmets that should be able to give you a really good ball park figure. Looks like $300ish to me. See if you can find any numbers stamped inside the helmet around the lip or under liner.
 
Thanks, good and bad news is FB banned me for good almost a year ago for good so I can’t reach out on there anymore. The numbers are definitely there, they’re just under the concrete paint which I’m scared to remove.
