this is the right side of my 'Bunker" if anyone is interested in the left side i will take some pictures

Russ for some reason I though you collected HJ knifes.Are they on the other side of the bunker? Nice collection of helmets

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

I'd like to see the left side of your bunker. Tim.

I would invest in a few more shelves for that impressive collection

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

Thanks for your comments the lest side is lufts, armys and chicken wires,rope nettings. and the back room is camos will take pictures today tomorrow some time,

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!

90% of them came from vets and i think 3 came from bill shea one was brought back my my great uncle if you look closely you will see a m16 relic it was dug up and sent to me from germany

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.

Hi Russ,

Let's see some pics of your M16 "blackie"!

Cheers,

Whoa... Sure would like to see some of those. Most impressive...

How about a picture of some of the camo's

Very impressive collection...Hope to see more.


Glenn

Very nice collection.
Hope to see more of the helmets.

Its blurry in the centre of the photo.

Fantastic collection, I have had a look at the others posted in the display forum section. A1, however all of the pictures are taken in the same session and as the man says the camera lens needs cleaning =)

I wanna see the Heer lids!

Russ,Holy ......!!!!!!! You really need to lighten the load on those wire shelves. I could help you out!! Richard

What is the one on the far left under another helmet? it looks black with the white runes on black shield.

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

Cheers,

C'mon. Bring on the close ups.

Russ are you on holiday or what?

It would be fantastic to see some more of this large collection!

They seem really interesting!

Here's my impression of Russ.



Just kidding of course
