I am a collector of Military History. On my channel you will see my ever growing attempt at preserving the ones who came before and their stories. I do not support any extremist ideologies. All of the items I own relating to them are there to remind of the harm they have done.

Additions to my AEF Collection #8
Some more items I've been wanting to display. I was thinking of maybe doing a video on every WW1 uniform I have if anyone would be interested.

My grandfather was a marine from 1962 to 1966 and served in Vietnam. He was with some of the first marines to perform an amphibious landing in the country. Here are some items from his service.

My Vietnam War Helmet Collection
Переглядів 3 тис.11 місяців тому
Hi all its been a while since I've posted but depending on how things go im back to post more stuff. I've acquired a lot of new and sold a lot of the old so you're probably not gonna see a lot of repeats. This video details my Vietnam War M1 helmet collection so far.
I bought a Vietnam war helmet yesterday. There are some markings inside the helmet. So what means P.I.? And where was the J.N.C. out post? He left the outpost in June 2 1970.
@@JustRemonGames markings put there by the military or the soldier it was issued to could mean anything and likely you'll never really know for sure what it means unfortunately
WOWZA ❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video nice uniform display and I love the victory medals starting to collect them myself only got five so far.
@n.jmilitaria1642 thank you for the compliments! I really didn't mean to get into victory medal collecting myself but I enjoy the variety so much that I've ended up with lots of them. Have any special clasps?
@@rockinghammilitaryantiques3884 no not yet just pick them up when I get them for a decent price
I focus my YT channel on mostly WW1 and my militaria collection WW1 AEF so it is super cool to see what you got! I am increadbly jealous of that tank corps jacket and that six clasp victory medal!!! You have everything displayed so well too so I commend you on that, its not common for people to collect ww1 so its cool to see you share your collection.
@MilitaryHistoryUnveiled thank you very much for the compliments! I chose ww1 because the technology of the age fascinates me and I feel like it is still an unappreciated war to this day. Thank you for taking the time to look at my stuff I appreciate it
You know it's a good day when rocking ham post
Awesome uniforms. Love the patches on them.
@kennethreese4659 thank you I do as well the variations are what keeps me hooked on them
some really nice uniforms
@@Hawker_Tempest Much appreciated!
Over 40 years ago, I picked up a Vietnam War helmet for $10. On the cover were the handwritten names of all the landing zones that the soldier visited.
@@masudashizue777 lucky find! Those helmets are decently rare nowadays and desirable
Super great collection.
@@TellySavalas-or5hf thank you
Great collection ! I have a fantastic collection of 18 Napoleonic French Grande Army brass buttons from various regiments. All found by metal detector in Belarus over the years, along the old routes to & from Moscow in 1812. These include a button of the 21st Regiment de Ligne (only a handful ever returned to France). A 'Sappers' Button from near the Berezina crossing & a Lions head French Hussars Sabre Buckle. I'm now about to frame these up in a presentation case. I love collecting.
@mickymantle3233 thank you! Sounds very cool I'm no expert on those older wars but theyre very interesting to learn about
@@rockinghammilitaryantiques3884 Yes, If you ever get the chance watch Napoleons retreat from Moscow 1812. I think it's on UA-cam. By the way - those uniforms are top notch. All the best.
Very nice ww1 collection, named and personalized items are always the best. Very nice Australian issued Lee Enfield, the D^ is a army stamp and the A^F is the air force stamp.
@Hawker_Tempest thank you much appreciated I definitely have a soft spot for any items that were personalized
Awesome stuff. Just subscribed to your channel.
@@kennethreese4659 thank you!
Love the WW1 content man looks amazing!
@livinghistorymilitaria thank you sir! There will be plenty more WW1 to come
Great video. Could I send you some pictures of the helmet I have? I think it’s a ww2 shell but a Vietnam liner. The liner has the dla 88 year or it’s an 83 year hard to tell. Or maybe I’m wrong on the shell.
@@iocelus125 sure my Instagram is in my about section on my channel. Feel free to send it over
Thanks. I Appreciate it
Those are amazing, man! Thank you for showing us.
@@cherriesvwine thank you

Great collection! I have two so far, but seeing yours makes me want more. Thanks for sharing!
It certainly is quite the rabbit hole. Thanks for watching
Excellent video! Lots of essential information, efficiently presented. Thank you!
Nice collection. I still have mine on the bookshelf in my den. One note, though. What you describe as a "peace sign" graffito is actually a Mercedes Benz logo. It's likely authentic, nevertheless. It was not uncommon to see "peace signs" rendered minus the vertical "leg" at the 6 o'clock position.
I've owned the helmet for about 8 months now and just now thanks to your comment have noticed that about the graffiti thank you very much. Glad to hear you like the collection as well!
Do you ever add some linseed oil to the leather just to preserve it and gun oil on the bayonets? Or you like to leave them salty?
I typically don't mess with items. I may clean stuff up or maybe gun oil for firearms and bayonets but I never treat leather. In the long run it probably just makes it deteriorate faster
@@rockinghammilitaryantiques3884 ko cho line is a great product for leather, and it wears off. but many collectors dont like to mess with stuff. and it depends on the item, but i am kinda an advocate for leather rehabilitation
Great video.... very informative....I'm from the UK and when I was very little I remember seeing American soldiers on TV and my mum telling me that America had just lost a war and were going home! To me, I couldn't believe John Wayne (who was America to me back then) could ever lose a war.....and my fascinating with that war and all the imagery and iconography, began. There was a shop, called the 'swap shop' which had bits of militaria that went as far back as the Hussars (honestly!)..... It had a Vietnam era M1 in the window....but being a little kid I couldn't afford it....and there was no way my hippy mum was gonna buy it for me! Well, sadly, that shop closed back in the 70's and my chance was lost.....until a surplus shop opened in my town and were selling a bunch of them.... I, of course, bought 2 🤭 but gave one away. I always suspected that they might be post Vietnam....and now you've confirmed it for me! Still, I love my M1.... Thanks for the information
Absolutely glad to help out! I also love the iconic shape of the M1 and im glad you were able to find some over there in the UK. From what I've heard theyre decently rare over there. Thank you for watching
@@rockinghammilitaryantiques3884 thank YOU for the video and great history about this iconic helmet! Yes, they are rare....I figure mine must've been when they were transitioning to the modern helmet and the M1 flooded the market. But, interestingly, after 'Band of Brothers' a lot of screen used helmets became available....a friend at work bought one online! Anyway, thanks again for the invaluable education 👍👍👍
Thank you for this video!! I just found out my beat up front seam is schlueter!!!!
You're welcome glad to help out
Very nice helmet, I’m thinking of getting into collecting
Thank you! And awesome, collecting is a fun hobby. It can be quite expensive but the history you get to handle is great
Nice collection.
Thank you
Excellent material,congratulations Greeting from Spain
Badass uniforms! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The brown one is from WW1.
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome helmet bro, this video is very interesting and informative...
Glad it was informative thank you for watching
Cool helmet. I like the transitional 16s as well. They are a less refined look than the 35s.
I personally just love the way ww1 stahlhelms look and I get what you mean
Nice video
The brown k98 pouch is for the gewer 98 and it holds one extra stripper clip in each cell
Yes thank you I just had a mixup with the seller about which one I was supposed to get so I guess now I have to choose which one I like more and buy another
2 preguntas; porque la costura era frontal y luego trasera? y porque eran de acero no magnético?
🔥🔥
guess i just picked up a pretty strange helmet shell has front seam and swivel bales but also has an 80s chinstrap pretty poorly put on liners pretty normal since its just a regular vietnam liner
Seems pretty standard for a reissue. Lots of ww2 helmets were used up until the M1 helmet was replaced. One of my first helmets ever was a late ww2 shell with 80s straps
I'm not a rich guy, and I don't care about what the "worth" of something is. I just like to be able to collect some history. For cheap! Good stuff, man.
Completely understandable and that's why I collect as well. I figured I'd throw it in there in case people wanted to know though
Finally an informative video I can now figure out who made the helmet that I randomly found In a curiosity shop in Canada you don't normally find Vietnam American helmets here The most confusing part about it is it didn't have any divots in The seam but I did find the serial number thanks
The manufacturer RJ stampings was actually based in canada so it could very well be theirs. Awesome find I love these old helmets
Very informative video! hope to see more, would love to see ww2 german helmets talked about next.
Thank you for watching! I wish I had the info and items to make a video about german helmets. Maybe someday
Went to a yard sale and bought an m1 with swivle bails. Curious witch era it was from. It is colored olive drab number three with the seam in the rear. The brim is not stainless, it is pitted and rusted.
Most likely a Korean War or Vietnam era helmet but without the stamp I cant know for sure
@@rockinghammilitaryantiques3884 The stamp area has been ingulfed by surface rust. Its not in terrible condition its just been through well, a war.
@tonykirchner5418 unfortunately no way to know for certain then but probably a Vietnam era shell theyre the most common
Real nice video. Going to dig out my old helmets and check them out.🪖🪖
Glad to help thanks for watching
Your R.J stampings helmet will be a 3 number heat stamp with no alphabetical letters following or after the number. Thank you for sharing about the motor wheel helmet. This is my first time hearing or seeing one. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge on M1 helmets as I have just started collecting around 3 months ago. It gets a bit expensive...lol
And I think your plastic liner is a real liner like mine. It's a Hood Rubber Company. I got one with a Korean War Era helmet, and it came with 2 liners. A Capac and Hood Rubber CO.
Thank you for all the info! The liner has always stumped me because my friend has one exactly like mine but it has US stamped in the crown. We thought they were maybe US made and sold to Europe but it could very well be that they're real. As for the heat stamp thing thank you again for that info im still blurry on some of the vietnam era stuff. Motor wheel are quite a rare bunch of helmets it appears they were only made on a small contract between 1950 and 1955 but most likely all during the korean war
Kool kit
My grandma plates with 5wastikas when she died. She gave my other family member world war 2 stuff and he said he doesn’t care for it so it will probably end up thrown in the garbage.
Thats unfortunate I think history should be preserved no matter who it used to belong to. Sometimes it cannot be helped though
Interesting stuff. I am not too keen on Ukraine/Russia stuff. But the mannequin for your grandfathers kit is cool. My grandfather was a medic in WW2, so I have a lot of his stuff, but I put the dress jacket in a shadow bow. I'm starting to think a mannequin would have been better.
It's great that you know about your family history. How you display it is mainly up to you. Obviously a mannequin takes up a lot more room but in my opinion it helps bring it to life more.
