I have searched all over the place and I cannot find a helmet that matches mine. Why?

The Germans had several variations of helmets. We have several examples in our
US Helmet collection. Check that area
and see if you can find it.

| The helmet is rusty and/or dirty. how can I clean it? |
We recomend that you do not clean the helmet. You may cause damage to it if it is cleaned
improperly. You are better off leaving the item alone.

|
| How can I tell how old the helmet is? |
Some helmets have their date of manufacture stamped on the inside. However, things
are not always this simple. When no date is present the best way to establish the date of a helmet
is to learn its manufacturing characteristics.
This website displays a collection of
helmets from various time periods.

It takes experience to determine if the helmet is real.
We offer a section dedicated to
identifying fakes and reproductions
for many different military items. This section will give you some basic pointers that might help you
determine the truth.
