Recommended Helmet Reference Sites

Referencing & knowledge is the most important aspect to collecting! Knowing the history, units & authenticity of everything collected can be just as important & intriguing. It can be easy to reference some helmets, while some are impossible to detect. This can be said about truly anything! I'm primarily interested in helmets & helmet covers, with the occasional book & uniform. It can be hard to tell what I'm looking at or buying sometimes, whether it truly is from said country, or authentic. 

There are many helpful books out there, but it can be hard as the information can sometimes be stretched between several books & authors. Or sometimes the book in the first place is incredibly difficult to acquire or no longer printed!

The following list is a stockpile of online sites, that I have found extremely helpful in referencing and the overall knowledge of these items. 

This blog will be updated as more sites are included.
