Friend of mine passed away last summer, recently his widow asked me to sell off a few things for her. Included in that was this box of helmets. Admittedly militaria is not my strong point so I figured I would lean on the good folks here. Just looking for ID and a rough price range on what to ask for them.

#1
Pretty sure this is an US helmet, looks like something out of Full Metal Jacket.

#9
Same as #8, just without the yarn and 1941 dated and size 7.

#10
Pretty sure this is a repro as it looks German and looks far too new. No markings that i could find.

#11
No idea on this one, looks eastern European. Liners looks kinda crappy, cushioning looks like a dish sponge.

1. M1
2. Brit wartime Mk.3 or 4
5-6-7 Look like the "M1 helmets" used by Germany post war with maybe different liners
8. Mk. 2 (wartime)
9. Mk. 2 (wartime)
10. Correct repro
11. East German
12. East German

Certainly not a helmet SME and totally differ to others with deeper knowledge about bone domes.

Thanks for the ID so far, any idea what a realistic price for any of them would be? I don't own any of them nor do I want any of them, just want to find a fair/realistic price to move them.
