Latest Helmet accessory - M35 SE German Helmet Dome Acceptance Stamp - Available
Forget water transfer dome acceptance stamps they were never used in WW2. This is the real deal and can be used over and over again. This stamp will allow you to mark in indelible ink the acceptance office for the M35, M38, M40 or M42 helmet.
We like to sell as authentic replica helmet items as possible and this stamp is no exception. The research gone into these stamps does not stop here, you will find that the size and characters are identical to genuine stamps, you could say this is a genuie stamp but just made after WWII.
If you want a different one made up just email us the details. This stamp can be used "as is", as it has an adhesive back, but we recommend mounting it on thick carboard, foam, wood or similar material to allow re-use and easier application. Get one here.

Latest Helmet - WW2 M2 D Bale Helmet from original M1 506th PIR - Available:
This is an original WW2 front seam, swivel bale, stainless rim M1 NCO helmet, repainted by us in 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment 1st Battalion colour's and converted by us to a M2 D Bale.
This helmet was a WW2 M1 swivel bale and its original paint has been left untouhed. The rest of the stencils have been added and aged by us to create a battlefield found 506th Band of Brothers helmet, taken from an original surviving example. This a very good example of a battlefield found helmet with lots of heavy rusting.
There is no fantasy about the markings they are all based on an original helmet and the helmet itself is a WW2 M1 version. So you are getting a refurbished shell & replica bale & stencils M2 helmet which these days are impossible to find at an affordable price.
Get it here or Email us if you want one made to your specification.

Previous Soft Cap May 2012 - Sold:

Reproduction Titanic Offiers Cap or Hat
RMS Titanic Officers Cap White Star Line Peaked Vintage Hat.
This is a extremely high quality reproduction Officers cap as worn by Officers on board the RMS Titanic on her maiden and only voyage 100 years ago.
This cap, if original, would easily exceed £20,000+ if sold on the open market. To my knowledge there have been zero officers caps sold and only one ratings cap sold recently in the UK. This is an extremely collectable item and will sell for a tiny fraction of the price of an original.
It has been made to look like it has been badly stored and preserved over its 100+ years of life, the peak for example is wrinkled with age. The brass buttons show the correct crown and the wreath is suitably aged and worn. The list of features goes on. This is probably the best reprodution cap available today. Most of my helmets and caps go to Museums, private collectors and for film work and you now have the chance to own a piece of maritime history.

Second Boer War Hats
The second Boer War (1899-1902) was a very interesting period as it marked the end of the British traditional battle tactics and equipment and threw the full might of the Victorian industrial revolution against the South African Boer's. |

German M42 7./St.G I Graf Zeppelin Helmet :
This is a genuine German WW2 M42 helmet painted in matt Luftwaffe blue-grey. It has the hand painted insignia of the 7./St.G I. exactly as the originals. The unit was formed as part of the strike component of the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin and then became the 7th Staffel in July 1940.
This is a beautiful aged helmet with lots of character. It has the Luftwaffe acceptance stamp, a genuine liner band and a reproduction chinstrap, suitably aged! The helmet has very faint manufacturer and batch number marking but both are unreadable. The decal is hand painted (by us), as the originals were and is keeping with the ageing of the helmet!
