Can someone help me identify these helmets?

[Unheilig]

I recently inherited a rather large quantity of assorted helmets I know absolutely nothing about. If anyone could help me identify these I would be so very grateful. Thank you in advance.

Thank you all for the information. Amazingly enough these were all from one box and I still have a couple dozen more to unpack! Out of curiosity, are these worth anything?

[Clash77]

The WWI German helmet is definitely worth some money. Authentic ones typically go for a few hundred dollars

I just wanted to thank everyone for their help. I can only imagine what else I will find when I unpack the rest of thesde boxes.

#7 should have something stamped into the rim by the chinstarp attachment, that should give you a makers code and size. Depending on the maker it could be rarer than most and up the value.

#7 could also could be WW1 Austrian-Hungarian do to the cloth chin strap. They attached the chin strap by rivets to the helmet and the German 1918 had the leather chin strap attached to the liner. I have a German 1917 that uses the old 1891 attachment stud like that found on Picklehaubs so I can't give you a definate answer on this one. I may be wrong but that is what I am reading about these. This makes for a good read and lets you know what you might have. The WW1 Stalhelms look alike but there are small things that you have to look for to tell the difference...Stahlhelm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You got yourself a very nice start to collecting helmets!!!!!!!
