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.

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 :' )

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.

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.
@militarycollectiblesshop2 жыл бұрын
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-

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.

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.

@@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.
