Quality collection m8, and although putting repro decals on genuine helmets isn't something I'd do, you have done a great job so hats off to you for that, all the very best to you 😊😊😊
Agreed normally. It already had a repro decal on there so the “damage was already done” unfortunately. That’s why I made sure the decals I put on were top quality ones and the helmet has putting on paint and liner is all black from someone oiling it so it’s not exactly a top tier helmet for collector value anyway
@@LiamCWW2 fair enough, I think I remember you saying that in the video. Those decals are good. I've only ever used the cheap ones and put them on a repro helmet. One of my m40s has had some oil or similar on its liner and its reacted....my 3 real german helmets are all non perfect examples but I like them like that to be honest, price wise and the wear on them etc, cheers m8 🙂🙂
@@steelhelmetstan7305 yeah, it’s probably not worth using these decals on a repro helmet but if you’re restoring a real helmet it’s definitely worth the extra £5 or so. And yeah I’m not a fan of pure rusty relics as I have limited space to display them. So for me it’s relics with decals and paint or decent helmets that are “affordable”. Unfortunately it seems you need to spend in excess of £1000 for anything mint and that doesn’t even come close to the price of an m35 DD in mint condition. One day 👌
In the U.S. I’ve been looking for about 5 years now for a nice M40 or 42 single decal army with liner and hopefully chinstrap. Real hard finding any that haven’t been fiddled.
You can get them but expect to spend at least $800. This one on the right is fiddled with but check out my other luftwaffe helmets that are more original
@@LiamCWW2I’d definitely be good with spending that on a nice M40 or 42 single decal. For some reason they’re so hard to find here in the U.S. someone’s hoarding them I guess haha. 😂 I do need to find a nice M40 Luft to go with the M35’s and M42 I’ve got tho!
@@Nick_B_Bad I’ll see if I can find any for sale in USA from the sites I search. Email me at liamcww2 at gmail dot com and it I find one I’ll let you know
