My Helmet Collection... My Introduction

**Bugme** · 07-20-2009, 04:04 PM

I figured I'd better introduce myself here on the forum. My name is Scott and I live in the city of Two Rivers, Wisconsin right on the shores of Lake Michigan. I got interested in Militaria as a kid back in the 60's watching Rat Patrol, Combat, Garrisons Guerrilla's etc. I started my actual collection in the early 70's and have been building it since then. I'm a moderator in the Helmet and Protective Gear section of the USMF and go by the same forum name over there. Below is a round the room synopsis of my collection, I'll post close-ups as time permits.

Hi Scott and Welcome!!!,

I just had to say that your collection is absolutely stunning!!! That's one of the finest U.S helmet groupings i've ever seen, wait 'til Nick D sees those babies.

Seriously Impressed, Ned.

When will I "send" you a plane ticket??? To stick with your collecting interest... my answer is: When pigs fly.

Thanks Nick, your compliments are appreciated! My wife gets tearful also when she realizes how much money I've invested.

do i see some early fiber liners in a couple of those M1's something i would love to add to my collection but they're not easy to get hold of in the uk & when they do come up they're well expensive even in really poor condition
