Yes they sure make a good conversation piece. Now you have a whole new list of stuff to find. Ammo cans, gunners pouch, belts, AA sight. Cool that you have slings. I could never find one for mine. I traded it all away last year. It worked out ok.

Looks like you are on the road to recovery. This one of the good addictions eh?

I know a bit about Helms, I have 9 German pots. I don't have a camera and have to use other's when they visit. Then my problem is re-sizing them and getting them to attach to the post. I am a T-Rex with this computer stuff. Plus being addicted to collecting I buy more German stuff instead of a camera. Know what I mean?? Take care.

I would love to post some Helm pics but am not smart enough to do so yet. I enjoyed the others though.

I have seen the red star worn on the left side once.

Very nice. I just picked up my first one a couple weeks ago. I'm doing a display of a German vet I have met. Since his still with us I will only use his fist name. Willi was in the Luftwaffe, FLAK. In a riker mount I have his signed photo, and the proper awards. EKI,EK2, Russian front medal, KVK, Black wound badge. All I need now is a Krim shield. Willi has some awsome storries to tell. He also shot down 2 Sturmoviks. He is quite the gentleman.

Beauty of a post. Great job.

Very nice, they are in great shape. Wish I still had mine.

Outstanding work. I loved models when I was a kid. I could never do that well.

byf

I really love the Tiger but the T34 really dominated the field.

Thanks for adding the shot from Vien. I have only a slide and have no way to post it.

byf

A very comprehensive post Frank. Thanks, I love looking at them.

Nice Helm Jon. I tried 3 pic posts today but none of them went. I am such a Dino.

byf

Incredible. Great stuff. Thanks for showing them.

byf

Outstanding pics. Great tunics. Why did I get rid of my Kaleu? To buy more Heer stuff? Too many things, not enough money.

byf

Sweet. They sure are cool.

byf

Thanks for the info ALp. Yes I know of the situation in the later years of the KM.If Doenitz had gotten what he wanted when he wanted they would have won. I guess it's good for us that Dolf couldn't see the big picture.

That is one sweet looking sub badge. Mine is late war zinc, L/57, with all the gold wash gone. That is a real keeper.

There does not seem to be much Imperial stuff around compared to Nazi stuff. But prices are going up. I have a M1918 Helm with liner, no chin strap. I paid $50 for it some years ago. Now I see them going for $400-$500. I was shocked to find this out. I have discussed it with some helmet experts and that is what they say. That stuff is coming up on 100 years old. Prices should be up.

The actions are so smooth on those units. Empire builders.

byf

Very nice, but don't get too close. Argh-sorry.

byf

Great job Jon. I used to have all those too. I got rid of most of them to buy Mausers and K43s. Oh well.

byf

Outstanding! That ghost thing is cool.

byf

Nice job Jon boy, keep up the good work.

byf

Quite a bunch of winners. Do you have any crosses?
