And at last my 2 M34 helmets the under one is with early police decals the other one found my father together with the LS helmet
A fantastic collection for such a short period of time. Never let anyone tell you that eBay is useless for militaria collectors!
One small caveat. I wouldn't stack your helmets on top of each other like that. Over time, it causes deformation to the liners, and eventually the liner material will adhere to the steel shell underneath it and tear when you lift it off. That's the cause of the black 'stacking rings' you sometimes see on British WWII helmets. It makes storing helmets a pain, but it is important to ensure that they do not suffer any unnecessary damage.
