Perhaps this has been discussed before – forgive me if so. This photo is from the Lucasfilm Archives, in a book published in 1994.
This helmet is noted as being from ESB, and I believe you can see the expected damage/crack on the left side (right side of the photo).

I’ve always wondered about the rangefinder stalk here. What is that extra part? Maybe it’s a piece of supporting metal that broke away at some point? It doesn’t seem like a feature any of us copy so I’m curious.
I bet someone here knows... ;-)
PS: Unrelated, but for someone reason this book has NO photos of any hats from the Indy movies, which always struck me as insane.
