Finding one from a vet is your best bet but they are far and few between now a days and collectors of 101st and 82nd memorabilia pay big bucks for a WWII airborne vet's stuff. A jump helmet with liner, fixed bales, goes for over 2000 bucks today and sometimes more if it's from the right unit.
If I were you, I'd have your museum director contact the head of the 101st Airborned Div Association with your request. I wouldn't do it personally, having the request from the museum director would make it more official.
