2 BOOK SET: SS Helmets Volumes 1 and 2 by Kelly Hicks

This set includes SS Helmets Volumes 1 and 2 SS Helmets Vol 1 Table of Contents This fine new reference covers one of the most popular and rarest areas of headgear collecting: SS helmets. Researched and written by Kelly Hicks, well-known SS helmet collector, it documents most of the known types and describes in great detail all of the vital things to look for in determining originality, style, type & finish on this fascinating subject. SS Helmets Vol 2 Table of Contents SS helmets continue to attract many collectors who desire to own one of the most heraldic pieces of militaria of any war or period. SS helmets are truly unique as they represent, better than any other single artifact, the Pan-European movement as dreamed of by Germany s WWII leadership. Because of their desirability, perhaps more than their rarity, collecting SS helmets remains a challenging and sometimes difficult hobby. The greatest difficulty of course is to locate original examples, which are becoming harder to find. With their scarcity comes increased prices, and with increased prices comes counterfeiting. In the relentless attempt to educate collectors away from the pitfalls, this book is offered as a follow-on and supplement to "SS Helmets" Volume One. In this new piece, improvements have been made in presenting the materials and information, focusing on imaging as an educational tool. Hopefully this will complement and supplement volume one, and provide the basis for increased knowledge for old and new collectors alike.
