My collection

[NARVIK1940]

Here is my small collection of helmets, with interspersed medals and other odds and ends. Space is limited, so I try to keep things within the confines of my cabinet, although things are overflowing a bit at the moment. Not shown are my Japanese canteens, and Allied headgear (which I am liquidating). Among the helmets are souvenirs brought back from the South Pacific and Italian theaters by relatives.

Quality over quantity always wins. And your collection is a winner. I know the feeling of "things are overflowing a bit at the moment". You wouldn't be a true collector if you didn't have that problem. Although you have wisely focused on only keeping the best rather than expanding the space. Good job.

Looks great Scott! Space is the bane of collectors. You'll need childproof locks on the cabinet doors soon! ;-)
