My (little) Collection
Hello all! I've been collecting for a bit under a year now (although I've had some items longer). I mostly collect headgear and helmets from WWII and the Cold War. Just ask if you want any closeups.
A Canadian M1 helmet on the left and an East German Model 3 helmet with net and torn up rain pattern fabric.
A poorly restored M35 from France that I intend to restore to its former glory one day.
The first helmet I ever bought, a Hungarian M70.
Some of my non-headgear items. From left to right, up to down: Souval EKII, Defense Medal, Canadian 1939-1945 War medal, Canadian Volunteer service medal, NVA marksman lanyard grade 1, and a British radiation calculator.
1988 Soviet Riverine Fleet officers hat.
1942 Canadian Brodie helmet with net and bandage
1942 Canadian Brodie Helmet Shell
A drawer of miscellaneous "things" (RZM reference manual, helmet covers, etc.)
1985 Soviet Air Force parade cap
And yes I realize these pictures aren't very good, but there the best I can do.

Nice collection for only about 1 year!

Re: My (little) Collection
Thanks everyone! The log book is from the 50's. The owner was flying only run of the aircraft. It appears he was flying super cubs and cessna 170s mostly. Unfortunately not a commercial pilot, but still pretty neat for only 20$.

Re: My (little) Collection
Welcome mate, a nice start you have there. Do you find yourself leaning toward any particular focus? It seems steel helmets are a favourite (good lad )

Re: My (little) Collection
Thanks everyone! To col James, it's Definatly not a BGS (although the colour is close). It was dug up, the holes were filled with fibreglass and a polish liner thrown in and then painted this crappy green latex paint( it would be nice if it was an intact BGS though).
