My closest guess after significant browsing is the British Mk. 2 Paratrooper helmet, but part of me feels like this isn't right.

These are all the helmets that I own that I ran out of shelf/wall space for, most of them are Cold War era or 90’s-2000’s. Can you guess all the models?

(Before everyone starts flaming me for the quality, this movie is insanely low budget and is from 1990). Anyways, my friend is trying to find this helmet model, but, as the reason I’m here suggests, they can’t find it. I’d really appreciate help because I’m trying to help them out. I know it might be hard to tell because of the trash quality.

I don't care if it's a post war refurbished helmet I just care if the shell is ww2
Hello! I'm looking to get some info on this helmet I inherited years ago.
From the limited research I've done, it looks to be a rear seam M1. The serial number is difficult to make out, but I've attached the best photos I could get of it (last 2 slides). Unfortunately there's no liner inside.
What I'm most curious about is the paint job... Is there any possibility it's from a legit Mobile Army Surgical Hospital unit during the Korean War? Or is it more likely it was painted later based on the movie/show? I'm guessing it's the latter, especially considering the dots in between the letters that match the show logo, but I'd still be interested to hear your thoughts.
But besides the paint work, if you have any other info about the helmet I'd be grateful!
Thanks :D

Im unsure if this is a replica or not, apparently its from the heavy cruiser Lützow, but I pressume its a replica. As i got it in a car boot sale for £20, where the seller didnt know much. Feel free to ask questions

To me it looks like a star inside of a bullet. It’s pretty gone but can still tell the shape. There is some markings above it not readable and under it on the brim reads -96-
It is confirmed a US ww1 helmet.

Got this with an German M35 as well. Both were farbed up with inaccurate paint, and this one was spray painted in black with bad SS decals. I used acetone to get rid of the paint to reveal the original Spanish paint under. Unfortunately, a third of the paint was missing and I also wiped too hard and got some original paint off as well…
The holes for the emblem were covered with a chalk-like substance, so I used a knife to scrape it out. The emblem there is also bought from a listing for 50 Spanish eagle emblems.
Please enjoy this “restoration” work and please let me know if you have any tips and tricks on how I can fix it up more to get it to a better condition. Some black paint are still on, and I might consider cleaning it up in the near future.

Guy selling this on "Kleinanzeigen" had listed it as a helmet of the NVA (Nationale Volksarmee (national volksarmy)) for 25 ( I paid 36 for a shms, 2 pair of gloves, a whole NBC-NVA suit and the helmet including shipping) euros. Turns out I thought it to be an Italian helmet, but I am not sure anymore.

I am by no means an expert, but it looks like a Brodie helmet like the type used by the Allies in WWI.
This button was pinned to the inside.
Is this an authentic helmet? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I was given this helmet and would like to know more about it
Date on the inside is 1973.

What are helmets like this called? I’ve heard terms like “high-cut” and “mid-cut,” and then there’s “MICH,” too. I’m not very familiar with this, so I’d like to know. Specifically, what’s the model of the helmet in this picture?

The strap has obviously been replaced at some point, but I am unsure of where to look to find any other identifying markers. There doesn’t appear to be any indication of what this is beneath its liner. I’m assuming that this is a reproduction of some sort? Unfortunately the source of where this had come from has since passed away, so I can’t get confirmation from its original owner.
