[@moparman72rr]

What an awesome collection. Thanks for sharing and also the stories that go along with them. Touching remembrance of your mother. I tell my children you take nothing from this world other than your experiences and the memories of people you have shared them with. I miss my parents every single day.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks- when I get really sad missing my mom, it helps me to remember that I am 'of' her, that part of her is in me. (and it is usually the smart ass part- and that makes me smile again :' )

[@pagkalikali]

Thank you for sharing your collection. Love the videos and thank you for being a wonderful caretaker of these items history.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks for watching! we appreciate the kind words!

[@josephhauad8673]

What a great collection. Really was touched when you showed the helmet your mom gave you. I am very sentimental too and miss my parents too. Never make them like we had again just the memories make me smile Great times Happy Collecting...

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks- my parents were always very supportive of my collecting interests- My dad will turn 90 next month, and he still gets excited when I find something new.

[@josephhauad8673]

@@militarycollectiblesshop My parents were very supportive about me collecting history too.. My mom would see my collection and see the nazi dishes and silverware and say are we going to have dinner with hitler and then laugh... But the memories are.unforgettable.

Whelp to say I'm gobsmacked is an understatement! Looking forward to seeing the museum!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks brother~

This content with a coffee. Perfect morning!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

I am glad you liked it! I felt bad about it going so long-

[@g-dlr]

@@militarycollectiblesshop it all comes down to preference. Personally I like to see extended presentations about a collection. Isn't that why we collect after all? Because we take great interest in the items!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

@@g-dlr Great! Thanks for the feedback! Part of our hope for this "series" is not only to highlight our own collections, but to show off some other collectors items and talk about the hobby-

[@jimrutherford2773]

Thank you for sharing your impressive helmet collection with us. Outstanding helmets!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks Jim- I hope to get to more of them over the holiday break!

[@DarrellBeckford]

Great video. Loved the personal connection to the Engineers Helmet. Hope you'll make more videos like this.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks- yea I need to get back to the helmet vault. There are more helmets to share and more stories to tell!

[@greghanson407]

I have my dad's WW2 dog tags, his rank patch Tech 3, and his unit patch Persian Gulf Command. I also have two tankards made from artillery shells and engraved with a detailed map of Iran, "Persian Gulf Command", and the design of its unit patch.

Fantastic helmet collection

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thank you!

[@anthonygallagher1397]

What a brilliant collection, would like, even a German helmet shell but here in UK they are priced out of the normal guys pocket, I would love to try and restore one as original as it started, I have 3 rivets to start with, but I think that'll be all I have haha, you have brilliant selection of helmets.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thank you- just plan those rivets and they will grow into a helmet tree! We do have some "restorable" helmets too- that are a bit more affordable-

[@rkegs]

aw bro, when you said that your mom got you that helmet i thought of my mom and also started crying , great episode

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks- yea it still gets me. anyone who has gone through it knows. Not a wound that ever heals, it is just a part of you.

[@joeschulz7997]

Awesome collection. My collection has been packed away for 20 years. Hope to unbox soon and rediscover what I have. Very touching moment when your memory of your mother was attached to the helmet. I miss my father as we always look for treasures together. Great videos.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thank you- it is funny how an object can trigger a memory like that- but then again maybe that is one of th3 reasons we collect, to preserve not only the past memories of these guys, but also our own.

[@CT_216]

Absolutely insane collection, thank you for sharing!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Glad you enjoyed it! half the fun of collecting is sharing it!

[@tomstreet5266]

Man, I can see why you put it in writing and said "not for sale" You have some real killers. I'm very jealous of the Medic's. Please, part 2 of the helmet unboxing.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks-! Yes Pt II will be done as soon as I can get to them- they are still packed up.

[@erics.8926]

Thank you so much for posting this video Jerry. These are some of the best helmets i’ve ever seen. Watching this video and seeing your collection was truly a highlight. Hope you find some more cool ones in the future!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Glad you like them! I have more to dig out- and just got another really neat one in last night!

[@paulkremastiotis6296]

Great video again

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks Paul!

[@1945ish]

Really enjoyed your collection. I'd love to see more of this type of content.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks! We will work on sharing more-

[@projetomuseudavitoria-brig8036]

Amazing collection! Well done!

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@militarymad2840]

What a great collection when you ever come to sell it the one bought by your Mother will be the last to go if at all.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Thanks for the kind words- yea each one of these has a story, but that one is special .

[@brittakriep2938]

Leib ( cold be translated both body or life , depending on context ) is not spoken Lib / Lif ( would be swedish) , but about Lyb or Laib.

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

Danke!

[@brittakriep2938]

@@militarycollectiblesshop : No problem. You anglo- saxons and we germans speak languages with the same root, but after so many centuries a lot of sounds became different. There are still so many similarities ( Gold, Hand , Finger are the same words, beer / Bier or wine/Wein the same sound, also ox/ Ochs or. sow/ Sau) that it is not to difficult, to learn the ,brother language'. A number of years ago, i read about an artist of Alsace/ Elsass region. The man could speak fluently french and german ( Alsace was once part of HRE , but for centuries french territory), and when he moved to London in 1960s for artists inspiration, he leaarned english quick. Why? English is a mix of 1500 years old german and 1000 years old french.

Where’s part 2?

[@militarycollectiblesshop]

We are hoping to shoot part 2 soon!
