Great looking Japanese helmet. I grabbed a pretty poor condition Siamese procured example that had no hardware aside from the lid. Completed it with components from Hiki Militaria and paint from IMA. Did all the strap loop riveting myself (6 little rivets). It looks great. Thanks for the video. -Herk from MN
That's awesome, i've always wanted to see some more of your helmets because From the ones that I've seen you wear on video whenever you're explainng the history of a certain firearm You got some pretty cool ones
I really like the swiss helmet, the camo cover looks cool and i love it when the helmets have personal things like the name of the person that used to wear it
What sorta auctions do you find helmets at? Whenever I bid online at some of those huge military auctions the bids always go crazy. Add to that the buyers premiums are nuts! Centurion is one that I’ve tried. Thanks!

P.s I’m hunting an original trench camo 1916 stalhelm… some day!
Good luck. 99% are fakes.
I have cool collection myself but you have a few I’d really love to get especially the German luff.and the original Italian…will be watching part 2
I'm going to have to do 4-5 parts lol. This is just the beginning.

My favorite is the m 35 Stahelm.
Very original..
Give it time. You will get to add. WW3 combat helmets. Maybe? Iran. North Korean.??? Their will be a lot of it.
You have to get an Irish vickers helmet for your collection.

I like the KNIL one, but it looks kinda tiny and ill-fitting on some pictures of the period.
Fits me, the shell is smaller, but it still fits.
I really like that French helmet you showed first

Ever planning on doing a ballistic test on mk2 brodie helmet? Canadian, british, or even Belgian civil defense variat
Sure, send me one and I'll get it done.
@@MikeB128 very tempted haha
Some nice helmets, Both Czech vz30's have Spanish liners. Some helmets that have imo some issues with. Is there room for feedback?
What feedback?
@@MikeB128 The Jap star looks replaced, and the Dutch helmet has been repainted on the outside (not original period)

I haven't gotten a good deal in a while. Military stuff has gone bonkers in the past couple years.
