where can i buy a cheap ww2 helmet?

preferably an american helmet from ww2 although a german helmet would be cool... lol

Check out your local surplus stores or amazon.com
Thats where I got my marine helmet for like 15 bucks (used of course)

I don't know about "cheap" ww2 helmets. get a ww2 helmet with like a bullet hole in it so you look "scary or whatnot" i got one for $20 with a bullet hole and everyone liked it for some reason. and then i had a ghillie suit for awhile until i got sick of it and then i bought the ww2 helmet. I still don't use it as well as i used to because of the reduction of my airsofting now i go to school @ state of Columbus community college. so i do it whenever i can.

Go to a WW2 reanactment theres one in june in Reading PA. You can buy about anything except for certain guns and vehicles.

www.ima-usa.com has alot of WW2 collectables and if you would like you may buy one from me !

amazon, surplus stores.


at fleet farm I found a russian WW2 helmet

If you lived near spokane I'd suggest the white elephant they carry alot of such surplus. last time I was there they had a bin of WW2 helmets for about $5 each

If you lived in Northern Jersey i suggest you came and bought it from me! but you don't ahha

you can find a cheap M1 Steel Pot just about any surplus store. they're heavy and give you a headache, though. just warning you.

Haha true words

i keep a little bottle of aspirin in my helmet band when i know i'm going to be wearing it for a long time.

Haha really?

Army 'Surplus would be good

yeah, Tank. always works! i keep 'em in an old Vietnam-era weapons-cleaning fluid bottle to go with my helmet's Vietnam look.
anyways, back on topic; Hazmat, just read that there's a slight difference between WWII-era steel pots and Korea-onward helmets. something to do with slight difference in the front rim above the eyes. but if you're doing reenactments or whatever, just buy a modern repro. they're a heckuva lot cheaper and nobody's going to be able to tell whether it's WWII-era or not.
