About 1958, I was 13, I bought a grip safety something or another for $12.00, my father hated guns and anything German military, so he made me take it back to the neighbor who sold it to me. I remember the man had an entire room in his house with nothing but shelves of German helmuts, from Imperial thru WW2...he would let me spend hours looking at all the neat feathered helmets, what a collection, it wasn't until 1979 that I started trying to put a real collection together, still trying today.
