yep, these come up from time to time. they creep me out.
i dont find them creepy at all,,,just an interesting facet of militaria collecting and of helmet collecting in general,,,
they are pretty cool, i just mean that it creeps me out because no store would ever sell that today lol... it weird how kids were probably encouraged to play with things like that, and then the swastika suddenly became illegal.
Here is one from my collection. When my Grandson was aged about 3 he would insist on wearing it!
Cheers, Ade.
nice helmet ade!
these almost look like legitimate combat lids
Now that is just way too cool Ade! Thanks for showing. I wish I'd had a mega collector grandpa like you. You've gotta be one of the coolest, but youngest of course, grandpas in G.B.
Take care,
Jay
My Grandson Connor is actually going to inherit my collection. He is now aged 8 and has got it all planned. Whenever he used to visit he would always ask to go to see my collection room: he now no longer calls it "Grandad's room" but "OUR room". He likes to help clean the guns and once he was sitting there with the "3 in one oil" and a rag and came out with this: "Grandad, you know when you are too old to look after all of this, I will look after it for you. I will keep it all clean...."
Cheers, Ade.
Looks like you have a ready made curator for the Stevenson Collection. Smart grandson with a proud grandpa.

Cool helmet Ade! I've never seen one of these in hand....They look nice and are probably quite light. Very cool indeed!
