Thanks for the video. I seen where you guys brought in a nice haul of original German helmets the other day. I hope to add a German helmet to my M1 collection on day
you dealers buy all the good stuff up, then charge so much money for it that the average guy can never afford it! not cool. is also why the counterfeit market is so prolific. because of your inflated prices!
i only buy reproduction stahlhelms because i can't take care of antiques or don't have the know how. i buy reproduction stahlhelms just to wear on my bicycle.
I thought I knew most helmets the first one 1916 I didn't know the different ones I've been collecting for 30 years thank you for all info you can always learn things
It's ironic that German WW1 and WW2 military uniforms and equipment is more valuable than the allied uniforms to collectors. I can see why. They are much cooler than the allied uniforms.
My German language teacher told me (in 1959) that he was never so glad to get rid of his helmet and rifle when he was taken prisoner in Furth, Bavaria. He said the sight of the Wehrmacht helmet sickened him. He would surely be confused by these collectors' items.
That doesn’t surprise me at all. But why he should feel sickened is beyond me. All he was doing was defending his country. The all consuming conscientious objector attitude of Germans is what sickens me. My mother is native born and raised German, having lived through the Hell in Germany during WWII. That said, I have several male German cousins who filed C.O. Status to avoid military service. My father, brother, and I were all career Army, and each served several overseas assignments to Germany, me alone having served 15 years in Germany. That pissed me off no end knowing that I was there protecting their asses instead of them doing for themselves. The Germans are pathetic anymore.
@@johnmead2781 : I am german, Brittas boyfriend. I did not serve in Bundeswehr, because military gave me a paper, your eyes are too bad., which surprised me. In both world wars, ancestors/ relatives of me died ( Artillry shells/ becoming ill in russian POW camp), in earlier wars i don' t know. I am 56 now, untrained and have Asperger disorder, in case of necessarity i would fight, because it is my duty to do so. But only for defending country and nation, not for defending our leaders, in the last two decades they betrayed the german people too much.
I absolutely love these videos, and I hope you will continue making them. And I think they may even draw new people into the hobby. So, I'm 16 year old boy from Norway, and I began collecting medals of ww2 in March 2017. Despite my short time in the hobby, I've already got to spot a few copies.Yet, my aim is not to brag, for I'm still relatively fresh in this field, and I''m just happy that I didn't fall for the items. -Yours faithfully
Great video Daniel. Can you do a video on the difference between fake decals and original decals and how to spot fake camouflage helmets too. I had a decent hat and helmet collection in the 1970s that I got from vets and sold almost all the hats and helmets years ago. Now I'm afraid to get some helmets since there are people taking orig al helmet shells and making them look old.Thanks again.
Interesting video, looking to restore a helmet myself, one my Grandad saved from the war.... Enjoying watching the collections & museums - gotta love a bit of history 😃👍 Subscribed!
@@burnheretic3950 I personally don't care. I've resorted atleast 6 helemts. I prefer to see them in their off the factory state than rusted and etc, they are just so beautiful.
J don't understand and speak well english, but this man seems not knowing the subject about Vk1 helmets.. many mistake are said about it.. J stop at 5:10.
Hi sir from the phillippines here, i have one helmet ww2 germany in our house and i dont know how to sale it to the treasurer can you please sugguest me to the person who wants to buy a germany helmet from ww2? I'm. Serious thank!
Thank you for a very informative video! I didn't know there were many differences in these helmets. They all looked pretty much the same to me. Now, I've become interested in collecting this stuff.
Hi guys, from the philippines here. I have a germany helmet in our house we dont know how to sale it or someone who wants to treasure and sale it can you please suuguest me guys? Thanks!
i like ww1 helmets more than ww2 and if you where wondering what ww1 helmets look like they are the ones that have the spick on its head which he does not have and the ones that have the horns on it calls the pic i’ll hem and the stalhelm . what he does not tell you is that the sniper shells is called a grobenpazer .
Also m42s didn't have decals (mabye some super early production ones had 1) but the general rule is they didn't in fact it was often an order to remove decals from older helmets because they were a target. m40s occasionally had 2 decals and they are highly valuable.
What about this? The German M1918 visorless helmet is often called the “Turkish variant,” but this version was actually produced for German troops. It was used by the German postwar army and Freikorps during the German civil war of 1918-1923.
Is the M45 legit? I have the M35, M40 and M42 helmets in different colors but have so far failed to locate anything on the M45. The only accounts that I've found said that it was simply a ventless M42. If it did exist it must have been a rushed production and release.
Grace K The m45 was entered into mass production, but was ultimately canceled because Hitler didn't like it (simple story). Of the ones made, you can find some pictures of soldiers using them, however they are very rare today. Most were likely made into pots after the war.
There's some wrong information here. M17 isn't a real model. It's referring to the linside liner, not the helmet itself. There is no German helmet labeled "m17".
I've really been looking for a dead giveaway on how to identify a helmet I just picked up from an auction. I wouldn't be mad if it was a fake(i didn't spend much). But I would just want some closure, if there is anyone out there that can help me identify it, let me know!
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED W.W. I GERMAN HELMETS. I ALWAYS SAY THAT I THINK THEY ARE THE COOLEST THING EVER TO BE DESIGNED TO BE PUT ON THE HUMAN HEAD ! I'VE BEEN COLLECTING FOR YEARS AND HAVE 25 W.W.I GERMAN HELMETS, ( I ALWAYS LIKED THEM BETTER THAN W.W.II HELMETS ) AND 20 W.W.II GERMAN HELMETS. NOW, MY QUESTION, I HAVE IN MY COLLECTION, THREE HELMETS THAT ARE " HIIGH VISOR " HELMETS. ALL ARE M16s, ALL ARE E.T.66 SHELL SIZE ( IF YOU PUT ONE OF THESE AND A REGULAR M16 OR M18 ON A LEVEL SURFACE BRIM TO BRIM, THE " HIGH VISOR'S " VISOR WILL BE HIGHER THAN THE REGULAR HELMET'S VISOR SO THAT YOU CAN SLIDE THE REGULAR KIND UNDER THE BRIM OF THE " HIGH VISOR ) ( THE REASON THIS CAN BE DONE IS BECAUSE THE " SKIRT " OR " APRON " IN THE HIGH VISORS ARE WIDER THAN STANDARD ISSUE HELMETS , SO IT RAISES THE BRIM. ( WHICH I THINK MAKES THEM LOOK EVEN COOLER ) I ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT THESE WERE VERY EARLY ISSUE, OR MABEY SEMI PROTOTYPE M16s I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT THESE HIGH VISOR BEAUTIES. THANKS ! p.s. LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S !
First of all this is a excellent video! Thank you so much for the valuable info! I do have one question; what if you have a different helmet that's not heer(army) and it has more than 3 rivets; specifically 4 rivets. Is it authentic or a fake? I seen a m34 civil police helmet with 4 rivets so I don't know if it's fake or authentic after watching this video.
What about the cut front visor M1916 - M1918? It was a field mod as many wore their helmets backwards for better vision looking uphill over a trench line. Some of them made it into the postwar so it could have adopted by factory designers.
Has anyone seen the movie forbidden ground?? If so what helmet does the general have and what helmet does that german dude have that gets killed bij rick the wounded guy
Do you know any thing about ss honor rings. I have a 12 ss panzer ring I'm trying to learn more about. It's silver well worn and came from my friend who said his grandfather brought it back from the war.
Really awesome video. I’ve found a german Black firefighter helmet from the Tunisia campaign. I want to buy it but the antique store is asking for $600. I thought it was a little expensive. What do you think ? Thank you very much!
Black firemen steelhelmets had been used in rural West germany up to about early 70s. Similar looking Aluminium versions , in bright yellowish green had been common up to perhaps five years ago. Today firemens helmets basicly in same shape are still made from modern plastic, but no more very common.
Holy shit I’ve never seen a collection so beautiful.
Javier Hiraldo I love your profile picture
I bet from russians :))
Ofc
Think about how expensive that must be
Javier Hiraldo nether have i
Thanks for the video. I seen where you guys brought in a nice haul of original German helmets the other day. I hope to add a German helmet to my M1 collection on day
How much cust now a day bro
So that's where all of the helmets have been going!
I've been confused since many of them were out of stock
Exactly LOL
True
Hahaha facts
That and history's secrets
German: How many helmets do you want?
This man: *_yEsH_*
you dealers buy all the good stuff up, then charge so much money for it that the average guy can never afford it!
not cool.
is also why the counterfeit market is so prolific.
because of your inflated prices!

Yet again a terrific video, I adore the whole quality of these things, from the info to the background music, it all adds together really well!
4:43 turn up the volume and listen to the pain lol
Love the helmets
"Do you know anything about the numbers and letters stamped inside the various models of stahlhelms?"
Hi. I can tell you. On the back of the head is the number of the plant and the batch and on the side an indication of size
that's a god damn money fueled collection!
It's not a collection, it is or was all for sale on the website.
It's ironic that German WW1 and WW2 military uniforms and equipment is more valuable than the allied uniforms to collectors.
I can see why. They are much cooler than the allied uniforms.
Well, there is Hugo Boss's hands in that matter...
I would love to see more in depth videos on those SS helmets, those decals seemed quite intact.
Brilliant, utterly brilliant and most informative and proper presentation on the matter. Do keep up the good work. Most enjoyable.
thx for the tutorial.

@@johnmead2781 Patton said we fought the wrong enemy. Speaking towards the terrible red army
Up to few years ago Aluminium helmets of this shape had been common among german firemen.

No...There were M40 Helmets that still had double decals : Luftwaffe, Police, SS...

Yea I’ve also seen them people take ones that were never used in battle
Hi how are you doing today, I am new to WWll collecting and I plan on focusing on the Nazi and Soviet stuff. :]

I missed the M34 and the M38, though.
There is no m38 or m34, anybody that knows anything about German Helmets knows that.
I love watching these episodes. Thanks
thank you so much mate!
Very compliments for your amazing collection
Super video... many thanks👍
That is a amazing collection right there
I used to have a battle damaged m16 shell with that light green colored paint that was seen on German artillery
добрый день -я купил м 17 рогач с вертикальными отверстиями для кокарды-подскажите кто это ????????????????????????
Y’all don’t worry he won’t own them long! All of us collectors are all just temporary custodians of these artifacts.
How did he find all these ?
Seems that the shooting star emblem belonged to a Luftwaffe unit, but cant quite pin down which one.
Why don't you collect British helmets? OH WAIT... THEY ARE SHIT!
J don't understand and speak well english, but this man seems not knowing the subject about Vk1 helmets.. many mistake are said about it.. J stop at 5:10.

Do you have any Green devil Helmut's?
Hello friend, what is the name of your store?
I want to see the German daggers of ww1 and 2
Daggers were uncommon in the first great war. Most soldiers when raiding trenches would use a spade or thier Bayonet.
Great initiative and really, really interesting and useful. Keep it up.
Linda coleção, parabéns. Saudações do Brasil.

WWI helmet with sc horns are my fav. Esp M16 what has something from Pickelhaube aswell - symbolic symbios.
I just got a square dip helmet
I want whole you collection
who wants to get ww2 German helmet?
Did the Kriegsmarine ever produce parade helmets with a dark glossy blue paint?
No, they did not. They did have helmets, but they differed very little from others.
Smoll gloss butle ww1 FELIKS MAYER BERLIN WIEN whear is thet brand austria or germany????
You've missed the M45/B2 helmet. Nevertheless a good video
Is the M45 legit? I have the M35, M40 and M42 helmets in different colors but have so far failed to locate anything on the M45. The only accounts that I've found said that it was simply a ventless M42. If it did exist it must have been a rushed production and release.

Came for the paratrooper helmet, it is missing too
Adamast he specifically said he would focus on the Heer versions of the helmets and not the Luftwaffe
I have one with the code E 5 2.
Could i have seen you on the tv series Combat Dealers?
He was. It was the resistance episode. They bought an assasination pencil from him.
I’m advanced and you just introduced me to the SH60. I had no clue. (Thumbs ups!)
There's some wrong information here. M17 isn't a real model. It's referring to the linside liner, not the helmet itself. There is no German helmet labeled "m17".

What is a spot on the front of the m35 for looks like something can clip on the front of it about the thickness tooth pick. What can clip on it there.
That is either a Finnish or possibly Hungarian or Bulgarian model I believe

Is it a WW1 helmet? If so it mighy be a german WWI helmet given to the finnish soldiers in Ww2 to be reissued in the winterwar.
WW2
isoto0224 probs a reissued helmet to a different army (99% sure finnish)
Could you talk about the model M34 lightweight helmet which was first used as a parade helmet and then used by SS and SD Einstazgruppen troops.
What about the cut front visor M1916 - M1918? It was a field mod as many wore their helmets backwards for better vision looking uphill over a trench line. Some of them made it into the postwar so it could have adopted by factory designers.
Does anyone know if the Sgt. Schultz Helmet on Hogan's Heroes was an M35 Helmet?

Well i heard that 1 side decoy was introduced in 1941 i guess and later in 1943 the stopped painting eagle with swastika .
emil take a trip to show of shows in louisville,,,kentucky,,,,,,you will find anything
I either have a 1916 or 1917 but without the liner I cant tell. It has field camo painted on it.
I have a German helmet with two bullet holes but I cant figure out what war generation or authenticity if anyone can help I'd very much appreciate it
Hmm, is there any tutorial to make pickelhaube?
I know a lot about these, I might make a video on them.
Very interesting and informative....thank you!
I have a helmet similar to your WWI model, with a canvas strap. Can you identify that type?
Why is that book by Ken $400 plus anywhere online right now wtf
I have a camo 1916, I dont think the paint is original, it seems like it's hand aged. I used it in a little ww1 short I made
hallo,
if i remove the screw and the nut from an helmet , would it be hard to put them again?
Good vid lots of knowledge mate but can hardly hear you
These guys banged a good deal of my friends since the 90's on fake crap.
