I just did, she shook her head and walked away speechless

and my stuff apart from recent buys is still boxed up after moving.

hi tony and thanks for looking

my wife has a lot in common with yours ,to be honest i dont know how they put up with us blokes and our daft hobbies ,she draws the line at me bringing any militaria into the living room for any longer than 10 seconds

Fantastic collection James! It has really grown over the last few years, it's when you see pics now and remember the first pics you were posting that you can really see the "illness" develop, Great stuff mate!

Hi James, lovely collection, keep it up. All I have managed to place in "our" living room are a bf109 blade in a corner, where only my eyes can see it and a E Boat compass, rest is hidden in a dark cave for my eyes only

Many thanks matthew ,i reckon the only way to add more now is to put away any helmets ive doubled up on ,i guess im going to have to wait till my daughter or my wife leaves home first

ive taken a few close up shots of a few favorites from the bunch

the british mk6 is an early trials helmet which i believe was used in limited numbers in the falklands it only has a two point chinstrap with chin cup

,another favorite of mine is the soviet tank helmet and was issued to iraqi forces Attachment 891510 Attachment 891513 Attachment 891512 Attachment 891511 Attachment 891503 Attachment 891502 Attachment 891504 Attachment 891506 Attachment 891505 Attachment 891508 Attachment 891507 Attachment 891509 Attachment 891499 Attachment 891498

Many thanks dave

can i ask how the berlin wall displays are comming on mate ,ive not had any updates for a while but it could be down to the problems we had on the forum notification's if so i apologise for not checking in

**sandgroper** · 10-11-2015, 12:11 PM

Thank you jake

i cant argue with you ,doug's collection was more quality than quantity ok maybe quantity as well

but you know what i mean ,perhaps the well battered appearance of my collection is the reason i was able to afford them ,mint stuff commands much higher prices, i would say the bulk of my collection must be in relics
