Thanks for sharing that information from the U.K. I bought an M1 today which has heat stamp 1023A The A has the low cross bar. It's a front seam swivel bale with textured finish & where the paint has chipped off it looks like stainless steel. The liner is stamped 26 with a shield above that with the letter F in it. The cradle & chin strap are fragile khaki & starting to fray. It cost £130 thank's to your video's i feel happy that it's a WWII helmet.

@JonBoyMilitaria4 жыл бұрын
The heat stamp should have 2 more digits before the 07G since it has a manganese rim. It's possibly 1007G and the first 2 digits faded away. If so, then that would date eound September 1944 which means that your helmet would have been one of the last ones produced with a front seam.

John, Love the videos- by far the most informational ones I have seen on this site. I’ve got to ask how much you are willing to spend on these helmets? At flea markets, I’ve been asked to pay $100 on a rear seam manganese rim, which I did not want to spend. What do you think a fair price on any of these particular helmets in your video would be? Additionally, I’ve searched countless flea markets, antique stores, yard sales, sites, etc., anywhere else you’d recommend looking? Keep up the great videos, we appreciate them a lot
@JonBoyMilitaria5 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your support. I appreciate it. Honestly, I wouldn't pay $100 myself. I believe that a lot of people think that because this stuff is old that it must have a large value. I remind people that 95% of the stuff we collect is common and millions were made. Some stuff is getting somewhat harder to find but it is out there. For example: there were around 22 million helmets made during WW2 alone. I go to the same places that you mentioned looking for items to add to my collection. I pass up stuff all the time that I would like to have but the price is way over priced. Alot of people don't have any knowledge about military collecting and so they don't know what price to ask so they search online and find something that looks like what they have and they ask the same high price. Other people just try to take advantage of others because they love the money. Collecting militaria is a whole other world than what non collectors realize. There are some many details, characteristics, etc that we look for and pay attention to. Honestly, it's kind of sad going I to some antique stores that I visit regularly because ei see so many items sitting there month after month and year after year because the price is outrageous. Sometimes I ask about a discounted price but most of the time they wont budge. 98% of the 115 helmets in my collection I paid $0 - $40. There might be 10 that I paid over $40. Alot of it has to do with being at the right place at the right time. I talk to people all the time and let others know what I am looking for. It has helped me out alot over the years.
@fredjones36935 жыл бұрын
JonBoy09 Thanks for the response! I always try to bargain, but some people simply do not budge.

Hey man, Honestly I would always be yourself. Think of ways to make videos that are informative/creative, etc. Be able to give good details and information about your items. Use good lighting, speak up when you talk, always respond to comments and thank people for watching your videos. Be positive.

Real nice video.I have a couple of helmets I'm going to dig out and try to get some idea of when when they were made. I think they are post war type. Haven't seen them in years.🪖🪖
