Hello Everyone,

I just got my first all original helmet, so I thought I would do a display of my german militaria collection.

The first set of pictures are all original german ww2 items, I will add a couple pictures of allied stuff etc. after the german militaria. There are a couple of small items not in the picture, but that's most of it.

Enjoy.

combat

also combat the tv series was shot nearby my area in the old days napa+sonoma countys.

they used the winerys land for some of those episodes, i remember as a kid that the paper had an article about explosions and gun fire that we were not to be alarmed as they were shooting a tv show.

pretty cool stuff.

I like the hand-grenade case. I would use that as a briefcase for the office.

Nice start to a life long hobby. A nice Stahlhelm is the keystone to any german collection.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

You are right about the german helmet, every collection needs at LEAST one nice original helmet. To be honest, I find Lugers and German helmets the most fasinating part of the hobby, next to the actual history of course.

Lugers and Helmets have something in common, they are amazing to hold... and they add a lot of character to any collection... They really are the face of the german army.
