I have an original Storm Trooper helmet that has 20th Century Fox stamped into the low back part of the helmet. It’s not like any ive seen online. It has clear lenses (green & missing one). It’s from the original Star Wars in 77. My dad got it at A toy store back then. I remember they had Darth Vader, Chewbaca, C3P0, and the Storm Trooper. It’s in rough shape missing the black rubber piece on the brow and on lens. Does anyone know if I can have it restored or any more info on it. I would post a picture but don’t know how. Thanks.

It sounds like you have a vintage Don Post helmet.

A forum like the RPF might be able to give you some information on how to restore it.

Where were you in '77?

You are right I saw one on EBay that was just like it. I have now seen two in my life. Mine has rectangles cut in the earholes. Don't know how valuable they are plus mine is kind of rough.
