Thanks Blair. I completely understand where you're coming from. My current purchasing requirements include something 'special' like name or unit etc. Or a wicked camo scheme.

I hear you! If I didn't find a way to narrow my focus, I'd have shelves full if them. Not neccesarily a bad thing...I'm just not a bulk collector.

So for me, a helmet has to have a name and rank, and either a unit ID, feldpost #, or personal ID #.

Good lid! And good hunting.
