I only buy and sell military items to advance my collection, I am not a full time dealer. I am an engineer by profession. I work for a company that makes high speed assembly machines. Due to this training, I do not accept a lot of information at face value. I tend to do a lot of research to insure I am correct on the items in my collection.

I have been collecting military items for the past forty-five years. Over the years I have branched out into different areas of collecting, but I have always returned to the collecting of the Imperial German Helmets. As I went in different directions in my collecting, I would try and obtain as much information as I could on the items I was collecting. I have built a large collection of books and files on uniforms, edged weapons, firearms and medals.

When I first started collecting, books on military collecting and helmets were scarce. In gerneal, over the years I have purchased any book that would help me in my current military collection. But any book I could find on the subject of helmets, I purchased. I have been able to go to Europe and add to my collection of reference books. The books in my collection are in English, German, French, Italian and Polish. This collection of reference books has been of great use and pleasure to me.

I will try and share some of the information in these books as I expand this web site. I will aim my efforts towards the new collector. I am always willing to talk over anything I put in these pages. If I have the information, I will be glad to help on other areas of interest.

I am always interested in helping with the identification of a helmet. I am always looking to purchase helmets or parts of them. Feel free to E-Mail or send a letter. If you send a photo of an item that you would like identified, I will be glad to help.
