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

[@herk8762]

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.

[@warhelmets]

Some nice helmets, Both Czech vz30's have Spanish liners. Some helmets that have imo some issues with. Is there room for feedback?

[@MikeB128]

What feedback?

[@warhelmets]

@@MikeB128 The Jap star looks replaced, and the Dutch helmet has been repainted on the outside (not original period)

[@MikeB128]

K.

[@Tidebo1]

I like the KNIL one, but it looks kinda tiny and ill-fitting on some pictures of the period.

[@MikeB128]

Fits me, the shell is smaller, but it still fits.

[@brentisenring655]

My favorite is the m 35 Stahelm.

[@MikeB128]

Very original..

[@AndrewTPewPew]

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!

[@MikeB128]

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

[@Strawballs75]

You have to get an Irish vickers helmet for your collection.

[@MikeB128]

Yeah, I'll get right on that. Can you spare $2k?
