what do you do with it though? Just have your own small museum?

Basically, if its either broken but good enough condition I may restore it and find a niche use for it. The helmets are mostly used for gags with my friends and the great coat is new enough that I may actually use it if its windy enough.

Check out the Discovery Channel tv show, Combat Dealers. I'm guessing basically that -- learning old history, topping one's collection with the most obscurest\rarest item, etc.
