thanks guys, Pepe
Hi All
Spent last week working down in Cardiff, not much chance to find any relics but I did visit this great memorial to the merchant Navy in Cardiff bay, look closely and you can make a face out, very poiniant I thought and a great memorial, some of the UK lot here may have seen it before but hope the collectors from other countrys enjoy it,
the other is a memorial to the failed Scott expedition, close to the first, not ww1 or 2 but still a good memorial
hi guys
got this one yesterday shell and leather has a name in it
whitch is th witt
looks all matching but i have a weird felling that there is messed whit .chinstrap is in my opinion fake
Found this picture and was wondering if its real?
Hey guys; I collect German helmets but want to expand into some US WW2 stuff: I just got back from upstate NY on a holiday and found some cool stuff. I need some help on the M1 helmet I bought from you M1 experts out there.
It is a front seam swivel bail M1, and looks to have original paint with the rough "sand" in it (I will post pictures shortly; have to figure out how to downsize so I can post).
Anyway, the outside of the LINER has been painted years ago (probably to be used for play or Halloween). I started scraping a bit to see ehat is underneath, and I found 2 logos, one on each side. On the right it has a coat of arms with crossed arrows and says "AUDACIA" at the bottom, and on the other side it has a shield that is red and yellow(I haven't scraped further to se if it says anything). Anyone heard of this before? Is this an italian, or some other liner mated to this helmet? The liner fits perfectly, but makes me wonder about the helmet; did other nations use a front seam swivel bail M1? I need some advice from you experts out there.
Hi, have this one on the way, should be here in a week or less.
I like it the way it is, but have seen on here the oxalic acid trick.
Maybe just leave this one alone?? Opinions welcomed. Will post more pics soon. Other side looks like this one, very good cond. Liner band is still present also.
Regards, Steve
Another RAD helmet issued to an RAD member attached to a Heer unit. The helmet has an inventory number on the skirt. Most likely, this helmet was worn by RAD member working on the Atlantic defenses in France
This is a ET M-40 Heer helmet that has been reissued to the RAD. The brown color likely makes this a helmet worn by guard units at a RAD facility. Standard helmets worn by RAD men were field gray and usually badged in conjunction with a Heer decal. The paint is an excellent example of a period color hue. The fakers have yet mastered the art of matching the hue and texture of period paints. The outline of a Heer decal is visible under the paint on the left side of the helmet.
