Hello Andy,

My main interest is the Great War but I seem to be getting in to Home Front items too. I don't have much room and so only have a few pieces to do with the ARP, a Police tin hat and a couple of other things. None of my stuff looks to be as good as yours.

Most Home Front helmets I've seen tend to have a rivet holding the liner in place and a large oval piece of sponge (?) for comfort unlike the nut & bolt with cross type padding for the usual combat helmet. What do your ones have?

Post some more pics as soon as you get the chance.

Thanks for the comments Tony!

I'll have a look at the helmets and get back to you.

I forgot to mention that there's some German Home Front items in there too!

Cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy,

That's a cracking collection you've got there, especially the white helmet. I've got a similar one in my collection which I'm really proud of. I've got an Axis display, and an Allied display in my front room, and when there's something dull on TV, I can just turn my head and look at my collection and let my imagination wander!

Cheers

Steve
