Hi James, I assumed it was a trade, either way great piece and not easy to source, so congrats again buddy...Mannie had completely slipped my mind as a resource for researching helmets, his website and pictures are excellent, he has a very "interesting" sense of humour too which is always a pleasure to read

[James C]

your right there mate ,he does inject a bit of humour into the headgear collecting world
