Yes, the German stuff is alot nicer. I have never been interested in British insignia or medals. Same with American. There just isn't any style to it. German badges and medals just look brilliant.

Nice collection. =) Don't care much for stuff like that myself. However, I got an original German army print of the "Taschenbuch fuer den Winterkrieg", printed in '42. Another heirloom from my family.
Here is a link to the US Intel version, translated of course. http://www.jedsite.info/library/special-series-18.pdf |

Very interesting piece. I wonder whats it origin, as it doesnt look like standard german helmet. Number of rivets is different, and the front bracket? Do you have any info on it? Maybe post war? the rims sharp edges are similar to 42 model, but i think the 42 model had the bottom flared out. :hmm:

This is one of no doubt thousands of german helmets that were issued in spain. Thus slight differences in shape but in the end german. I have no idea about the bracket. I am trying to find out about it!
