Wall O Helmets

[DougB]

Some guys have been asking about my collection, here are most of my helmets on my Wall O Helmets. The wall contains 152 or so German helmets and features a cross section of WW1, transitional, Heer, Luftwaffe, Police, KM, camo, wire, and netted helmets and includes 1 beaded Luftschutze (named to a woman) and 2 FHH/SA M35s as well as one early Herman Goring Police civic. Many of the helmets shown are published in Ken N, Tom K, Ludwig Baer or Kelly Hicks/Mike Beaver books. Many of the helmets are personalized and fully researched, or being researched and 1 is to a Knights Cross holder.

If you like SS helmets, there are 79 SS helmets here if you include the camo covers, 1 is not shown. The complete history of SS helmets is on display here, something from every SS era and combat campaign.



Jim you were asking to see my reversed decal SS helmets.
Well here they are.

Left to right middle row;
Austrian TV reversed (or VT but I believe TV) with rare Austrian pattern Pocher (published)
M35 double runic Woodchip camo (published and Kelly Hicks 1st SS helmet!)
M35 size 70 double runic (published)
M40 double runic (named)
M42 double runic ex winter camo
M42 reversed runic ex Polezei published
M40 reversed runic ex Polezei
M35 reversed runic ex Polezei
and if you look 2 rows up you will find
M35 reversed runic ex Polezei tan camo named, published, and fully researched.

9 in total. (click on photo for closeup, sorry its a tad blurry when blown up. Will post better photos in the coming days)

Hi Doug and a happy new year to you, just love the wall paper in your house, my type of decoration BTW nice retirement fund

[DougB]

Ben Happy New Year to you and to all the WRF members as well.

Thanks for the compliment (and you as well Ian), but in order to retire you need to sell them....so I think I have to work forever as I don't think I can ever sell them LOL.
