Back in the early 70s I picked up a Luftwaffe DD M35, complete with liner and chinstrap, for $35. I bought a similar one 3-4 years ago and that cost over $1,000.
Sorry to hear about your past experience selling to the States. I've purchased an M42 from the UK just two weeks before and I received it without any problems. The helmet before, I purchased from Ukraine, and no problems there either.
Very nice examples these helmets. I own a few myself, some nice examples, and three relic condition which hardly cost much at all. If I had to pick a favourite example of the ones I own, it would probably not be the most valuable out of all of them (I think my coastal artillery M40 would be worth the most given the condition) It would be an M18, probably on its third coat of paint, updated with an M1931 liner and with a really decent condition original Third Reich decal applied. I saw a helmet very similar in the Oscar Schindler museum in Krakow a few years ago, and as soon as I had chance to buy one similar I did. Great video.
Thank you, coastal artillery M40, that's a very nice helmet to have in your collection. A transitional helmet is one we don't have yet for our collection but one day we might find one at a decent price 👍👍
i agree with alex, good choice, great video blitz boys and you are spot on about prices. here in america they are expensive and harder to find. thanks for posting
Definitely agree, get to know people in the collecting game....do your research.....and a helmet without a liner still looks great on a stand. Yeh german para helmets are '£££££££'s' Definitely out of my price range....get well soon Blitz senior 😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks a million.
Great video,investing in good original german helmets is better than having money in the bank,they will never depreciate in value.
Yeah totally agree, great investment 👍

Yeah I might have just been unlucky.

I love these helmets since I saw them
Good video, don't forget the police/fire M34's - can get really nice condition ones for good money.
Yeah good point. Nice looking helmets when they have their decals 👍
Very nice
Thank you 👍

The perfect video for a rainy bank holiday morning Thank you. Size and maker of the m35?
Glad you like the video 👍 The m35 is a size 64 shell and made by ET.
Thanks, this helps with my airsoft cosplay.
No cabe duda de que los cascos alemanes son los mejores
totalmente de acuerdo 👍
