After several years in boxes, this small collection in Texas is slowly coming back. Gives us mere mortals something to aspire to.
They are coming back!

Holy cow!
This is incredible. I'm floored and appreciative to this gentlemen for allowing a peek at his collection. Apparently, from the posts, several of you other gents know this collector. Is he a contributor to this website? I'm still kind of a newbie, remember. What on-line name does he go by?

And you can also! He is a contributor to this forum, though not frequently and is the author of this book.

Incredibly nice guy, he inevitably comes to SOS, and it looks like this year many of the tables will be coming together again! so if you can make SOS and hang out with the pickelhaube collectors you will get to know all of the guys that are there. I keep telling new guys that the best way to learn about helmets and find good deals is to become a known entity. So come on down!

Thanks Joe.
I already have this book, and the follow-on study of Volume two. You are right; absolutely invaluable.
I would love to meet you and some of these advanced collectors, and maybe also have some of my books signed. I will have to take some leave and hit the next SOS. Thank you for the reply.

Wow, thanks for the privelage of seeing this one-of-a-kind collection. It would probably be impossible to replicate not only the quantity, but definately the quality of the items in this collection in today's age. I'm amazed at the number of super-rare, high-end helmets and the wonderful condition of everything. I can recall seeing a small portion of it many years ago on display at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch, IA, back in the 1980's. It's great to see so much more of it!!!
Thank guys. I'm definately drooling, =P~ =P~ and must now fetch a mop to wipe up the floor!!! :thumb up:
