Re: My wall o' helmets!! I have NO collectors value so I'll keep showering .......
Actually as you know today's a pretty miserable day in Sydney and I set them all up quickly for the photo in between rain periods .....
Re: My wall o' helmets!! G'day Dan,
What a great looking bunch of lids mate and in a variety of conditions, you really will have interesting conversations at your barbies with a backdrop like that! Great stuff!
Re: My wall o' helmets!! Thanks Dave - problem is at the barbie after a few "sherbets" we'll all end up wearing them and goosestepping around the backyard .... then the neighbours will KNOW I'm round the twist!by sandgroper
Re: My wall o' helmets!! If you wear that half helmet I'll back them up!lol
Re: My wall o' helmets!! That's a lovely wall. How many strange looks did you get from your neighbors when you did this? If you really want to freak them out, wear one while you cut the grass and do yard work. That will really throw them off!
Looking for:
1) A court mounted EKII
2) M42 of no collector value, bare steel if possible. Liner and liner bands not needed.

Re: My wall o' helmets!! Thanks a lot. Sure seems plausible. I only remember seeing the resistance in Danish helmets and could not imagine they would ever put a German lid onHi Lars,
This was my original post back in April when I got the helmet. It was one of our members, SCOUT who confirmed the HD story and rather than repeat his words here it is. http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/steel-...er-2-a-170880/
I'm thinking it was a defiance thing for the braver among them??
