It's refreshing to see somebody so polite and willing to join the gold club so soon!..
I figured you guys saved me 900$ on a bad helmet so I should return the favor.
I started collecting when I was in high school (2003) when you could still buy this stuff on ebay. I got burned once on a General Assault Badge and I kind of gave up on collecting. This forum re-lit the fire, so to speak. Man helmets got expensive over the last 10 years lol.
I just picked up a copy! Do you folks take your reference guides to antique stores and gun shows when on the hunt for medals, helmets etc?

Hi Todd,
I was refering to what Jim said about most if not all unbordered decal helmets being ET's and was wondering if the NS66 ones with that decal were uncommon or rare.
I also agree with your point on the premium. I imagine it rather knocks the shine off an item when you forget it in the heat of the moment and think you didn't do so bad until the realisation sinks in after the excitement of the desperate last minute bidding.
Regards, Ned.

Hi, Ned,
M35 NS helmets are not frequently seen, at least in my experience. They're desirable and usually sell quickly at the right price. Unbordered decals are preferred because they were used pre war and pretty much phased out after 1940ish, though they can be found on some wartime helmets, but that's not the norm.
As for his question about taking books to fairs and such, I typically always do. I don't always carry it with me though. Might leave it in the car unless I absolutely need it. Ken N's book is considerably heavy to be carrying it around for hours. I like to use my phone to access the decal reference area available to veteran members on German Helmet Walhalla.
