Is all your repro stuff Asian Helmets?
They wont burn, you could probably trade them in for £200 against a new Toyota.

Thought this was class then I seen the price, 15k

More than ten available!

Some poor bugger

What Ermm but some peoples reenactment lids are original...


I give up

Would you say though that an original M-35 shell (whatever size) is different from the remakes (the shape)?

Its just, when I see a lot of 'new reenactment helmets' (Asian shells) they all look a little odd...

I know that they are expensive... No doubting that.

Hi, the only difference between an M-40 shell and a M-35 shell is that the M-35 has a riveted air hole. The M-40 has a embossed air vent. A M-42, has embossed air vent, and flared edges. The M-45, has flared edges and no air holes.

Hence the above shell is a M-35!

Hi! M-36? I thought that was a fallschirmjager shell... Or the code given to the Bulgarian Combat Helmet M-36. Is there an M-36 German Combat Helmet Shell? First I have heard, and I have been a collector for some time now. I only thought that there was M-35, M-40, M-42, and the controversial M-45. B...

@Peiper... a question on the shell.. Is it a little out of shape? I mean the collar rim looks very short, it doesn't strike me as being a good shell shape/remake... Here is one that was recently for sale on german-helmets.com to compare... A M-35 shell.. http://www.german-helmets.com/2011%20UPDATES/...

Ermm... I though it was a little to minty IMO...

But German ebay is full of rubbish...

Looks interesting.

Hey guys! thanks for the feedback..

I cant seem to find the thuringen militaria reproduction stuff...

What about decent original shells? I want to get a few, where is the best priced place to pick them up? I suppose semi relics could be restored.


Thanks in advance..

I will check them out!

Thanks!

erikbozwo2 they are real crackers! What liner is in these? Where could I get one? There is too much reproduction rubbish out there that looks nothing like the real ones.

Thanks in advance

By far the best on here this year, eye for detail, scenario, impression, and forethought... One thing I notice always is your NCOs and junior officer are a good age, and suits the role, most groups have a fat guy in his 50s :lol: People may spend a fortune on their impression, but sometimes it all l...

Is it as bad as your English?

Hope you get rid of it all, doing a clear out myself lately, just no need for it all.
I have been successful in getting rid of most of my stuff luckily.
