I discovered a ww2 Japanese steel helmet in our attic, is it worth anything ?

Answer 1

I would say so if it is in good condition and has everything with it. If you find the value of Japanese WWII Weapons and gear, tell me. I have a Jap Rifle in my closet with mono-pod and Anti-aircraft sight and a Japanese Carbine

Answer 2

What's the condition? How complete is it? Any documentation? Somebody knows where it was taken, found or bought?

A plain WW2 steel Japanese Naval Combat Helmet is now at $61.00 on eBay, while another one complete with rope net, cover and chin strap is now at $1,525.00.

Answer 3

I would definitely say that its worth something. Something that rare and important has to be worth a lot. I'd get it appraised in an antique store maybe, museum also, but as someone said above, the Antique's road show. I'd check it out if I were you.

Answer 4

If it's in okay condition, it'll be worth something to a collector. If it's in really good shape, it could be worth a lot. But, depending on how common they are, it may not be worth as much as you're hoping.

If you can't get a good enough sum for it, consider donating it to a war museum.

Answer 5

Yes, it will be worth a lot if it is in good condition. I'm pretty sure that all items made during war-time are bound to be worth quite a lot.
