To add a bit from myself:

1. yes, Elmo is right, 63 strong Commando helmets sell at 400 - 425 k. Was looking for one in the last week and received multiple offers in that price range.
2. As for shields prices, Royals typically sell at 2.0 m, the others like 2.5 m and a bit more, like Elmo said.
3. To get a shield could be a good idea. I have Legionnaire as well and it often happens to me to shield for the team, if there is no RG present (or only 1 in case 2 shielders needed). As I purchased Royal recently, it happens quite often that I can help the team giving it to the RG who's shielding (not every RG already has Aegis...). So, a reasonable shield can often help.
4. As you plan to become Legio, did you consider getting yourself decent throwables? CTS sell at 1.1 - 1.4 m, VHTA ca. 2.0 m (had like 4 offers with that prices some 3 week ago). Can't say the price for Pillums... To add an note here, VHTA provide an important advantage as can be used as a strong 1H. So you hold 3 stacks of them and a shield (I often run out of CTS during a wave, when holding 2 stacks of them) and you also spare the money you need to pay for a reasonable 1H (Legio is designed to be 1H fighter).
5. You wrote nothing about gauntlets you have. Ppl often forget that changing gauntlets can provide body armour upgrade at a low cost. E.g. changing from Striped Armour to Trans would cost you like 1.3 m, while you can get +2 body armour upgrade just by getting Mail Mittens for less than 100k...
6. And last - steel sword is no good. It's not strong enough and it's too long that often makes one to slash from overhead in narrow places or in presence of enemy crowd. Best upgrade I ever made on my inf was changing the Steel Sword to Vengeance. Steel Cutter is a worthy replacement as well. They both usually sell at ca. 400 - 450k. As those weapons are highly popular among Commandos you will have no problems to sell one in case you decide for further upgrade (Head Crusher, Swadian Courage and later perhaps DWP, Illustrious).

Thanks for the long but helpful wall of text. Im using hourglass gauntlets right now.
About legionaire, I don't plan on getting any throwable a yet as I only plan to get legion once I fully gear out to the [near] max my char, so that he's already all equipped once he hits hero. So I'm sticking with the base commando gear right now. I am using a steel sword as the situations I use it are in normal, when I'm in hard I heal or slash with the axe, I might go get a steel cutter soon though, I just dislike the short length a bit. Finnaly right now I don't think I'm getting a grinder helm is as its a minimal change from the great helm and I rather wait to get a bonus of +7 head than go grinder, spend money, and eventually in the long run upgrade again  spending even more for only +3. Anyway once again thanks for the input
