haha...I thought that was your Finger holding it.. Hell of a Find...I would spend some time in that attic for sure
 

Nice helmet man! -I never thought I'd be saying that to a dude...
 

Great attic find! Ya the visual does throw ya for a momen.
 

Helmet looks to be in great shape! One time I was working in the attic of a 1870s house. Found a pack of letters that had fallen down in a wall. All from the 1840's, talking about someones family moving west and how there trip was going. Very interesting stuff. I guess yeah never know!
 

Real nice find for sure. Id think I would have to go back in the attic for a second look. Good luck.

Oh I will once I get everything moved in, the helmet was on the edge where the attic door comes down I looked with a flash light and can see other boxes in the back so tommorow I will look thru them and see if I can find anymore goodies
 

Just a update the helmet is authentic front seam but it didnt have the original liner but I do have a old nam era helmet somewhere and think I will used the liner from it til I can find a original ww2 liner to make it complete
 

excellent find. 2nd Rangers NCO helmet. very cool!
 

sweet, i'm always amazed at what new owners find in the attics or basements......also wonder why the past owners didn't take the stuff with them.
 

Sometimes I think the owners don't have a clue. When our neighbors moved a couple years ago, they empted our their barn and took it down to a dump in the field. My wife got looking around and found a WW1 medics helmet. It had the red cross on it and also the origional leather liner and chin strap. Needless to say when she sold it on e-bay, we were very happy. It sold for over 200.00. Thank you neighbors.
