What a challenge that's going to be but I'm sure you'll do an amazing job. I'll watch with awe.

I too second what pebceb has said. I’ve removed rust, polished brass and depending on the helmet replaced liners all to the shock & horror of others. But I’ve bought some stunning helmets over the years and some were incomplete, it’s not meant to deceive anyone but rather to what I like. Not...

Wow another amazing restoration Wotjek, well done.

I can see why it is, stunning!

What an impressive room for an impressive helmet!

Ah ok, I was expressing from my view point from items I've bought over a number of years but have had similar unsavoury deals with other dealers that people swear by so I understand.

That happens I would assume to all of us, it defines our passion and what makes collectors different from the average person. I'm so happy you bought it as bay state militaria not only has great items but he's a lot less expensive than most. My love of the 'Guards' helmets stemmed from these...

That's great news, I'm envious as I've ummed and ahed for a while but as always it comes down to money. What a score and can't wait to see your images.

Ah I'm glad for you. Bay state military really are one of the good guys.

Personally, spending similar money on ebay I'd want to see it. And much prefer to buy off a reputable seller if I have apprehensions. There's one on 'bay state military' as we speak and for the same amount but in USD. He's a great guy and it comes with a return option. Wish you luck...

Hi all I'm looking to find two (sides) or a complete set of M16 / M17 Steel Helmet Liner Pins as I have an M16 where they are broken. Regards

Thanks again Naprawiacz I appreciate you finding these. I think I have one....will know for sure in the morning.

Thanks Naprawiacz for the heads-up. I'm after the enlisted leather only variety but I think the one you have linked here is a copy. But thank you for your time in linking them.

I'm after any Pickelhaube chinstrap and am willing to pay around $200 USD for the right one. Regards W

I've seen a variation of these images but never these two. Thanks for showing these they interest me greatly.

Mine kind of fun! Looking forward to watching this one. Thank you for the insight once again.

I can look at that GKR helmet for hours, simply stunning!

That's a seriously nice collection. What sort of time span did that take to put together?

......my lungs would look like that 1st image! Nice job!

Yes I discovered your amazing site a few years ago and helped me visually when I was acquiring parts for this pickelhaube. It's the terminology of collectors and forums that I'm trying to understand as well.
