Do you want to sell it ? If you do please tell me a price.

I've seen 2 weeks ago one for sale in Bucharest for 170ron and in the same day I've seen, at an other antic shop, three more helmets going for 390ron each. All with m31 liner, and post war paint and in a condition similar to yours but without the signature.

So you see, the difference in prices is very big.
