Why do you call it a junk yard? Sorry, do you mean the link you posted? I haven't checked it out yet. I'll get back to you.

Ok I checked out the link. I saw a few pics but no I didn't shed a tear. My heart sunk though. A real shame this stuff can be disposed of in such a ill fated way. What a world we live in huh?

i'm a collector of military things. I know that if you sell one of that mauser k98 you'll get about 250 euros. And it's not for shooting....just as a decoration in your room.

Yah decoration is all they should be used for. I imagine you're not the only collector. Do you have any vintage WW1 or WW2 stuff?

I have lots of stuff from ww1, between ww1 and ww2, ww2, after ww2
If you want I can paste some pictures. I'm most interested in ww2 in German army and Yugoslavian army (partisans)

Wow that's some collection. Sure I'd love to see some pics. Do you know what those german helmuts are called? They have the point on top or spire looking effect?

That's an amazing collection. Are there special meets just for this type of memorabilia? It must be worth something..very vintage items. Anyway the pictures of helmets weren't exactly what I envisioned. Were the motorcycle helmets the ones with the point or spire? I may be mixing it up with some movie memorabilia.

sorry didn't understand you..what type do you mean

as I said all of soldiers were carrying helmet with spire on top. motorized troops, infantry,all...only generals, officers and some special troops were carrying helmets whith some special spire on it....like dragon helmet or they had just some freaky points on the top. hope I cleared your mind now

I just found another helmet called "berndorfer" also a german helmet. it doesn't has a spire but it has a point. on this point a soldier (who was looking through the binocular at the enemy positions) pinned on shield so he had lass chance to be killed by sniper.

Ok I guess they are the right ones. The picture just didn't have them. Do you also like war genre movies? I think one of my favorites is still Platoon. Full Metal Jacket was good and Apocolyspe Now.

I like war movies. i watched Platoon. it's good film. Saving pvt. Ryan is ok to me so as Pearl Harbour. I like ww2 movies more than vietnam movies. But they're also good.

from where are ya????
