I think those would be considered government property. There might be sites where they sell used helmets though. Check eBay they have everything.

poke around on these sites

And prepare to drop thousands of dollars.

If you're looking for one exactly like the picture, it's the Gentex HGU-55.  Just in case you were wondering.

200-300 euros for a replica or so...

Try some army surplus stores

In europe you can get real used russian helmets from the DDR era

Why do you need it?  That's one heck of an expensive piece of equipment.  

And they're not only for military, aerobatic pilots wear those a lot.

If all you need is to keep a headset in place while flying inverted I recommend simply getting a fabric helmet.  I use one and it's quite nice without the bulk of a huge helmet and keeps my headset firmly in place while doing inverted spins.

800 dollars a little expensive  :-[

Thanks a lot for your help  ;)
