I have no financial interest or gain on these.  I was just showing these in case someone on the Forum was interested in something like this.

 

I am guessing these come from digs in Eastern Europe or the Russian Federation.

I really enjoyed this . . . sort of a decorating nightmare to me, but I guess they must have a market. Ouch.

As a collector,even if the items are in relic condition,it pains me to see it used in this manner.As a male it would make a neat piece in the old man cave!

Some of the cracks and bullet holes tell a pretty gruesome sotry about the previous owner.

You know what... with the internet... if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. 

 

This appeared on on the Facebook page for the 8th Infantry Division Veterans along with the following warning:

 

"Hey, if you see an ad for lamps made from helmets and other authentic milsurp....

Just don't, this is what you get...resin mold."

 

Classic bait and switch!  Apparently the original photos were stolen to sell this junk.

 

Never was in to relic condition items. But with prices today seems they are more affordable.
