Military Collecting 101: US helmets (Part 1- the Basics)

[@erikanderson8166]

Great info! Military combat helmets are a big part of my collection. I've actually purchased a few things from you. I'm the Canadian guy you sold stuff to from time to time. Cheers, Erik Anderson

@20:52~You're forgetting a 3rd War time manufacturer during WW2: Parish-Reading Manufacturing Company, which made a very limited number of M1 helmets. There would be a 'P' on the side above one of the bales.

[@thurin84]

yeah, but theyre quite rare as they never got into regular production. probably only a couple thousand made.

[@tomstreet5266]

Good video with a lot of helpful info. PS, need part 2 of your helmet collection. That was a great video also.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks- glad you liked it! We will be doing part II of the helmet collection as soon as I can unpack some more of the helmets- but hopefully soon!

Gracias! welcome aboard!

[@josephhauad8673]

Great video very educational. You should make a video of your whole store so we can see the store and merchandise thanks...

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks! We do plan to do a "video tour" of the shop ( we just need to clean it up a bit first!)

[@thurin84]

nice collection.

[@thecitizen49]

Is "little clippy things" actual military nomenclature?

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Yes- "LCT" is the acronym. : )

[@moparman72rr]

Thus endith the lesson! I thought the euro clone helmets were magnetic?

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Yea I figured 41 minutes was long enough- But we'll do a part II. You could be right on the magnetism thing- I just look at the other points as I rarely have a magnet handy when I need one!

[@thurin84]

some are. some arent.

[@Sadmir-ml4wn]

whare should you buy helmets for chep m1

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

anywhere you can! You can start with a repainted one, or one missing chinstraps- those can be had for less money.

[@kmac4124]

very nice ..thank you

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thank you!

[@paulkremastiotis6296]

Brilliant.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks Mate!

[@CT_216]

It was not uncommon for paratroopers to cut the a-yokes out of their liners after they jumped. I recently traded my early Inland M2 liner with them cut out and in much worse condtion, it sold for $1k! I'm always looking for M1's and liners, do you have any that are in stock currently? I see a few on the website. Great video as always gents!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks- I have a pile of helmets and liners that we need to go through- but it is a "fall" project, and we are trying to finish our "summer" projects! : D

[@CT_216]

@@militarycollectiblesshop no problem, I’m sure you guys are quite busy! Thank you for the reply, I’ll keep any eye out for any updates.

[@dirktipton3205]

Where is this shop located?

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

We are just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin But you can visit our website at militarycollectorshq.com

[@greghanson407]

I've still got my helmet from the early 1970s. I don't know anyone who ever used the chin strap.

[@kristopherreginald4126]

ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ 😀

[@plemieux73]

You nothing on helmets guy

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

I think that was meant as a criticism - If so please remember that (as stated) this was just meant to be "the basics" for new collectors.
