    The only thing I'm able to find on this helmet is a marking that states '1942'. I'm wondering if it's from World War II.

      Yes. I think that could be a British Tommy Hat.

      I have looked up the British Tommy Hat and it looks just like it.. what do you think the value of this might be.

      I have seen WWII helmets go for anywhere from $20-200. Try to get a british buyer lol
