You know you're over the hill when "Happy Hour" means Nap Time

Very nice! But clearly you have far too many SS helmets and several are subject to abuse

That's an impressive helmet collection Russ - Congratulations! I think you need to trade one of those "SS surplus" helmets with one of my camos. Cheers, Asper

If they're all real, and I have no reason to believe they aren't, that's one of the largest gatherings of SS lids in one place I know of. Now, you just need to invest a fraction of your helmet collection value in a real display case. NICE COLLECTION MATE!

Hi Ed, Lance is posting pictures now that we finally can. His quality is improving. I do collect HJs now primarily but for years and years I collected everything. We had a lot of 29th division vets and I got many many things from them including helmets. I worked in the local hardware store here from the age of 12 until I got out of law school. This was 1972-1984 and the hardware was the local hangout for these guys. Back then if you showed interest they would just give the stuff to you. I have an m16 DD SS helmet in black that I paid a whole summer weeks work for in 1976 $120. wonder if I could get that much for it now????? I have all types of daggers and helmets mostly. 90% came from guys within a 30 mile radius of here. Those were the days. I have recently been fortunate enough to get 3 footlockers of booty from the guy who brought it back. This is my first footlocker buy since 1993 if I remember right. Russ

Russ, Great collection, can't wait to see the rest of it. '90% came from a 30 mile radius of here' this gives an idea of how much stuff was brought back. Tim.

I was wondering about that one too. Unfortunately, it appears to be on an M35 shell.

Yes it seems he does indeed. To have a right side full of SS. A left side full of chicken wires and rope net helmets! A BACKROOM full of camos! Hence why we are chomping at the bit to see more!
