Hi Guys, this is for sale locally and Im not sure what to do…is it good ? The vendor is someone I trust and he is 100% on this… it was a vet bringback from the Italian campaign and was sold around 25 years ago. what are your thoughts ? Im keen to hear opinions as I simply do not have any experience with SS items other than a couple of bits and pieces and certainly nothing of this value.

Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to share my first Scottish regiment WWII flashed helmet. It just arrived in the mail two days ago, but I was only able to find time to picture it yesterday. The helmet is an original desert painted camo helmet and is flashed to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. The helmet has its original liner and is 1940 dated. Its chinstrap is present although broken and warn out. The original flash is in good condition and stands out on the helmet. I personally believe that because of its date and painted camo, it could have been used in the North African Campaign. The top of the helmet is a bit scratched up, but I personally like the look. From late 1940, the 1st Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders fought in the Western Desert Campaign, Crete, Abyssinia, and then onto Sicily and the Italian Campaign.

I’ve been searching for WWII Scottish Helmets (to any Scottish regiment) for a while now, but they are all so rare, and almost never pop up. I probably won’t see another WWII Scottish helmet to any regiment for a while, so I was really happy to obtain this helmet. I will always on the lookout for more Scottish regiment helmets to add to my collection, but I was very happy to obtain my first one. I don’t have that many helmets British/Canadian in my collection as of yet, but for the time being I can definitely say that this is my new favorite helmet in my collection.

Hello all. I am seeking advice about purchasing an inert 37mm round and having it shipped by sea from the UK to the US. A military dealer in the UK has it and I would like to purchase it. Legality, risks, postal restrictions. I’d like to know if this can be done legally these days. The Round is WWI vinrage, empty AP Projo is missing the base fuze and the empty interior is visible. The brass shell case is empty with the base primer is missing. can this be done? Advice is needed. Any US buyers please share your experiences.

Thank you!!
