manayunkman Posted July 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2012 I was out yard sailing one day and couldn't find a thing. I'm in a small suburb of Harrisburg, Pa and drive by the fire house. They are having a chicken dinner sale and all these men are around this big BarBQ. I stop and walk up to them and ask " Did any of you serve overseas ? " This one man gets right up into my face and says " Do you want a German helmet ? " I am not lying. That is exactly how it went down and it took 3 or 4 visits to get it all. His basement was so full of stuff that he had helmets screwed to the ceiling. Tons of T.R. ( gone a long time ago ), a large collection of Tank ID models and this remnant.
