but how many of those are originals?

[MARK SAXBY]

Certainly not all of them.

[TONY Q.W.]

A small margin of "error", if any, is ok in such a large collection.

A great collection by all means

[Howard Kelley]

All original items

Hello Lelez & Mark,

All are 100% original.

Check out the other threads I posted. Many more photos of everything.

Cheers,
Howard

P.S. There are 150 other helmets I did not photograph. i.e. Model 16 / 18 camo helmets. Model 35, 40, 42 double decal and single decal helmets, Army, Luftwaffe, Navy, S.S. and also 15 different paratrooper helmets (camo, SD, and DD).
Also 100's of uniforms, etc. etc. etc........

It seems to me the bigges tissue our collector has is LACK OF SPACE. Other than that...nice collection!

Display space

Stephan,

You hit the nail on the head!

This is one of two War / Collector rooms. The other is devoted to U.S. helmets and militaria. Many of the lesser valued helmets are in storage containers, or in the case of the higher priced helmets their in the safes. Mr. Kalvelage does have helmets stacked, but what you don't see is the bubble wrap inside to protect the helmet below. John assures me that as his collection grows, he will either be divorced or forced to live outside with the dog.

Wish I could have done a better job of photographing his collection, but my memory card ran out of room.........

Fun problems to have!

Thanks to everyone for their remarks.

Best Regards,
Howard
