to everyone who dislikes this guys video's for him showing the swastika and saying that the German decals are beautiful he doesn't mean it by him supporting the Nazi's, he means it historically. and all nick wants to share with us is his finds, creations and tutorials. don't forget he is unfolding history for us, he doesn't have to but he does so respect this guy have a blessed day nick!
My grandads dad was a Beaufort flight sergeant in ww2 He crashed over Ireland and currently the sight is being dug. Thanks for keeping history alive I recently got into reenacting and looking for a group
Good job that he was German but still this video doesn’t make sense a Austrian Hungarian helmet turning into a German helmet those are two different countries.
My great great grandfather fought against the Russians in the Austro-Hungarian army. My great grandfather died in 1941 also fighting the Russians in the Wehrmacht
@@oddbjrneriksen468 There's not really anything wrong with the restoration.. It's a helmet, not a classic car. I will use this helmet for reenacting, and like I explained in the video, I like it of the other paint is still underneath it, just like the Germans painted over the old layers of paint. Kind of you to leave a Dislike. 👎
@@oddbjrneriksen468 Your methods might be good, but I can assure you that the method I use works fine too. Rust will not come back, there wasn't even much of it, only some surface rust. There are a lot of layers of paint over it, the steel gets no oxygen, so it won't rust further. It's fine. I treat relics that I have to preserve differently of course.
@@aaatlas840 yea. My great grandfather fought for Hungary and the germans in ww2 and I always say he may have been on the wrong side but at least he was fightin the commies😁.
Amazing that a Austro-Hungarian soldier wore this! In my school we have a Polish teacher who’s great grandfather fought on their side against the Russians and I am pretty sure he survived the war, maybe it’s his helmet? Who knows history can hold many things, mysterious, facts and struggle. Thanks Nick for the videos great job as always!
Even before you restoured it think it was strangely beautifull a testiment to its strength, its over a 100 years old and who knows where it was before you got it, who knows what battles it was in or where it was at the end of the war, at some point its liner was lost, someone repainted it, it told this incredible story of how time will take its toll and now you brought it back to its glory days
I love the top of that stool you paint on being just an assortment of green/grey, and the blue from your last restoration. Even your stool has history.
Right now I'm sick with COVID-19 Just a week ago I was sick with the stomach virus. But your videos are a great cure for sickness! I love your videos Nick! 😃😃
Just wait for the ww1 trench video!!! He gives easter eggs on his instagram-follow him! Could you maybe link the music in the video description i would love to have it on my playlist :)
Haha, hope I will get my WW1 uniform fast! I forgot the name of the song.. Normally I placed the name of the song in the description, but RUclips has changed it, so I don't have to do it anymore.. That's why I forgot!
I love watching your videos. I'm an old guy now, so I've had to stop reenacting due to health reasons, but I truly enjoy watching the younger guys who keep history alive. Please keep it up. One request: When you do these restoration films, please be sure to tell us where you buy your supplies. Especially those absolutely LOVELY decal sets. I have a really pristine M40 that I'm preparing to restore - again - and this time I'd like to use a more accurate paint. No problem there, but almost ALL of the reproduction decals that I find are simply not up to the standards seen in the ones that you've been using. Who is the source for these? Thanks again for a really interesting channel.
Used to own an M16/M17 myself. Was an austrian made one, send to Afghanistan pre/during WW2 where it was hit with a huge bit of shrapnel (Yes, brits fought in the middle east too in ww2). it's amazing what stories you can dig up when spending some time researching your items!
Nick i absolutely love your Channel!! Im always happy to see that you uploaded a new Video!! :) You inspired Me to Go to some historical Locations in my Area. Greetings From Oberhausen in West Germany!! :)
Hi bro I really love the content you have so that's the reason I collect WW items because I enjoy you're videos very good keep it up man you can make other WW collectors happy.😊😊
I own an original model 1915 French adrian helmet, it has green paint on it meaning it was used in WW2 as well as a WW2 badge. Then I looked closer and saw highlights of blue paint all over underneath the green paint so it shown that it was originally used in the Great War but reissued in WW2 which is nice.
hey nic i love your vids i hope the lockdown ends soon i am really looking forward to what you have found in the woods that u cant tell us about Love from Belgium
I‘m getting into Reenacting and collecting, I was the weirdo in my class that knew everything about ww2 but now that I want to buy memorabilia, I think I‘m the ultimative HISTORYBUFF 😂
You're not the only one People say that I'am weird or Nazi because I know a lot of WW1 and WW2 history and equipment I collect items for 4 years and I will collect until my dead . I can 't live without it .
Goed gedaan man! Ik ben zelf ook eens van plan om wat helmen te restaureren binnenkort ;D. De decals zijn voor mij altijd het moeilijkst eerlijk gezecht, heb er zo al een paar gesneuveld lol.
I hope that you can restore an Original WW1 German M16/17 helmet in a video. I think you did a great job restoring it to WW2, but a WW1 restoration could be cool too

The one dislike is from the person who originally painted the helmet.
