hello ladies and gentlmen of the 501st!
I have a 1977 storm trooper helmet that I had found in a yard sale a little while back, and I was wondering if you could tell me how much it might be worth?
It's rather small compared to the new ones, has no lenses, has holes cut for eyes, has stickers, is painted, has two holes cut on either side of the helmet where the ears would be, has no head liner, it's a one piece mold.
It still has the sticker on the inside which has the company's name : DON POST STUDIOS
It was in rather rough condition when I found it, and had what looked like old glue residue on it, so I wiped it off with laquer thinner. It cleaned off the glue, but also took off the clear coat for the shine. It also has 20th Century Fox engraved on the back.
It's an old helmet, and looks a little weathered, but still looks good.
I also had to replace the black head band on the front on the brow, with electrical tape.
Just thought I'd ask,
THanks!

One example on eBay ended 08/02 in good condition with the lens had an ending bid of $22.00.
