I bought a WWI German spiked helmet (pickelhaube) once upon a time. The guy I bought it from had given it to his kids to play with. I saw pictures of it before they started to play with it, and it probably would have been worth $500-$600. By the time I got it, I gave him $25 and was being generous. It had been ruined and I bought it for parts.
