Book Description

The ghosts of World War II are talking. Join a study of paranormal archaeology and latent energy that features 52 wartime artifacts, such as an SS Totenkopf Honor Ring, a Japanese gas mask remnant and pistol, and a bloodstained certificate. Pendulum dowsing, psychometry, electronic voiceprints, and psychic intervention help to explain that the artifacts relate amazing and haunting stories. Learn about the prisoners behind the padlock that emits an energy of death and incarceration; and a man who watched as a comrade fell in death only to take his SS ring. Read about a long-lost sole of a tortured soul; and a swastika on a gold chain that was worn as jewelry in a time of hate and prejudice. As psychic investigators, renowned psychic Jane Doherty, Shamanic Journeyer and Reiki Master Lisa Palandrano, and New Jersey Ghost Organization psychic Maryanne Vasnelis join forces with the author/sensitive to prove that these artifacts can talk.

Can you I.D. this helmet? Is it an M-1 from the 80s?

Hello,

I have an old army helmet that I used to play with as a kid. The weird thing is, I have absolutely no idea where I got it from... maybe a yard sale or a flea market perhaps. Or maybe someone gave it to me.

I dug it out of my parents attic today and would like to know more about it.

Yes, I am planning to sell it. I need to.
I wasnt going to, but we are moving so I need to "lighten our load" and get rid of things we wont actually be using. Plus we need the money for the move. Ive had to sell off a lot of things that Ive collected over the years. :(

Anyway, I dont want to get ripped off by some dealer if I have something of value here. You know?

I looked up U.S. helmets online (thats how I found this cool forums) and it looks like it could be an M-1 from the 80's? (Dont laugh at me if Im wrong. lol )

So here is the helmet. Its pretty cool. I loved playing with it as a kid. :)

It is very heavy. Its got an inner helmet made of a light-weight material, (not sure what that is called) and an outter helmet that must be steel. Then the cammo cover.













Can anyone I.D. it and tell me some information about it? Is it even an actualy military issue helmet? Why does it have two helmets in one? Is it from the 80's or earlier? etc.

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

The rarest jacket I have

This is absolutely the best uniform jacket in My collection, I even know the history and original owners name. This jacket came to Finland in 1992. I got it from a private collection when it was for sale.

Book With Two Important Signatures

Rare discovery by an individual in Munich, met the gentleman through my cousin in Berlin. I subsequently purchased the item from him.

This book was presented by war criminal Ernst Wilhelm Bohle to Heinrich Himmler and was in H.H.'s personal library. Inside the book are following ink hand-written dedication by Bohle:

"To the Reichsführer SS, Pg. Heinrich Himmler in cordial comradeship, on September 1936." Below the dedication is the original signature by Bohle and the short hand signature by Heinrich Himmler, made with an green pencil. Himmler very often signed with his short hand.

The book has 80 pages. On every page is a photo of an high Nazi leader and his printed signature.
