Most wanted helmets - what's yours?

I certainly won't be. I'll keep quiet for awhile now.

yep....'trouble is...they'll probably KEEP going up too.

The key issue in the "Life v Helmet" clash is whether what you have spent the cash on is more important than a metal hat.....and if the answer's yes then you're getting things right. :-)

I note that 72 members have read this thread....so they MUST be helmeteers (it's in the title!).....so where's your?!

I'm not a helmet collector although I have one or two but definitely number one on my wish list would be a tin lid Royal Navy issue fro WW2. When dad signed up and whilst training as a shipwright he was issued with a bicycle and tin lid and assigned to a group responsible for locating un-exploded or time delay incendiary bombs dropped on Chatham dockyard and the surrounding areas. Although I guess he could have been issued with a civil defence helmet so I guess I will have to get an example of that type too..... then in the 50's he was issued a riffle and another tin lid and told to sit next to some canal in Egypt..... and I really like the Maltese camo... one thing is certain collecting is never ending!

Nice.

Top of my list is a Luftwaffe DAK, to top off my (otherwise) complete set of Luftwaffe tropical kit.

Not much to ask for.
I know they exist, the key is the price, of course!

I’m sure I could think of some more, if I put my mind to it, but this is about ‘No.1’ after all.
