"Interesting piece. In the 60-70's these helmets had little value compared to what they are today. If the Artwork is indeed original to the period. it is actually worth more as a biker culture/ motorcycle helmet than a piece of militaria. I have seen vets take their helmet that they were issued being an M-1 or even a flight helmet and repurpose it as a motorcycle helmet. Just because a helmet has been say redecorated, if done during the period (for example hippy peace rally helmets) it can be worth a substantial amount. I have seen original hippy decorated helmets bring close to $1000 at auction. \n \n"
