After Saving Ryan was released, M1 helmet prices increased in price 10 fold

8:48 Those hinges are typical of Scandinavian M1 helmets. The shells for Scandinavian M1s were made in Germany or Austria, the liners in Denmark and the hinges locally in Norway and Denmark.

"DLA" marked items are post Vietnam War. I believe that changed from "DSA" to "DLA" in 1975. "DLA" means Defense Logistic Agency.

the Belgian m1 clone's are marked with 'ABL' and a production date, they are heatstamped inside the liner and stamped with red ink inside the shell, or atleast the ones i have are. A = armée (French for army) B = Belge (French for Belgian) or Belgisch (Dutch for Belgian) L = leger (Dutch for army)

I just bought a m1 helmet today believing it was from ww2 and found out it’s a west German 1990s m1 helmet lol

After that I had bought a m1 helmet from Ebay for 90 dollars and I got some cheap dollar store toy helmet, I hope I can trust a fellow collector who understands history in its finest

Those swivel bale hinges were installed backwards @Jersey Farang in Thailand .

That german helmet with the ring running around it are pretty rare i believe

Keep an eye out for a USMC M57 Flak jacket... lol

that shop is heaven dude

Hi very intreasting magnetic Helmets. I trying to find the manufacturer of these helmets. Whenever a magnetic helmet pops up, its ofren assumed its a danish m/48 helmet made by Glud & Marstrand. The thing is they never made any M1 helmets! The Danish army and civil defence do have(had) these magnetic helmets. In late 1951 army technicians travelled to Hong Kong to look at m1 helmets already in stock there, with the intention of buying 50000 of these as well as another 60000 for the civil defence. Eventual the deal was done, and these helmets was introduced in the civil defence as the m/52 helmet. The army already having the m/48 (original ww2 us m1 helmets, brought in December 49 from us stocks in Germany), they simply put them in as another batch of m/48. The difference between the army and civil defence are the bales as well as about 100g in weight and the color. The civil defence helmets has us style bales and a serial number stamped inside the rim ( done by the Danish), while the army version has no number and another bale style. But what they have in common (other then being fully magnificent) is how the rim is joint in the rear. The overlap, by up to a cm. never seen that on any other m1 clone helmet. Wonder if this is the case too with your helmets, and that they might be the same manufacture. Very easy seen on the inside.

Hello, from Thailand, I have M1 helmet and heat stamp is M 338 B What year is this sir?

Wondering how they got these m1 helmets

I would make that place my new apartment 😍

july 1987 on the liner

dang. wish that store was in my neighborhood.

I was wandering if I could buy one from you, I really love ww2 and I want a real ww2 helmet but at my local antique store someone had bought it, I cant find any anywhere, I'll buy one for up to 70 dollars, I would be very grateful thx

I think. I just think. I need to go to Thailand.

I have one like your's sir. But i see inside as four number. 8721 what year is this sir? Is it fake?

Thanks, I was thinking about buying one.

The tinfoil one with the weird hinges, I think it's a danish m1 helmet

That kid sounds so adorable

Can someone help me, I own a front seam m1 and people say that repro can’t be front seam but I can’t find the heat stamp on mine. So is the fact that it’s front seam enough to confirm it’s original or do I need to find the heat stamp in the thick paint that they repainted my m1 with or was I scammed????

Yes it is a danish M48 it should have U.S.C.H. inside back of helmet made by Glud & Marstrands made about 1957/58 the bale is correct but no heat stam

Hey man my clients dads friend left my clients dad his helmet from the war and he died and left it to my clients dad. I have it and i was wondering if i can send someone a picture to get some info on it

Firestone liner

You have german helmet collector ?

Your Video is very good.

Whats the music in the beginning?

I live on the outskirts of bangkok and I would love to know where this shop is!

Korean high dome about 6mm higher

Hey great video! What does a heat stamp on the front inside of the M1 helmet mean 12/3A?

You should have buyed the german Luftschutz helmet they are pretty rare

Why do they do the tinfoil? Doesn't make sense to me, if someone is buying a historical object they want it as historical as possible.

What surplus store are you at??!!!????
