Nice example friend.

A beautiful example Jake! Love that pot!!

These originals never come up for sale in Oz, and getting them from the US always ensures I pay a little ''bit more than its worth''. It comes with the territory

The sweat band is in a funny position - Wouldn't be very comfortable on the head as is

Best regards,
Chris

Thanks Chris all my pots come from stateside so I too am paying OTT for items,but what else can I do?like it or lump it I say plus I wouldn't touch nothing here as its all been messed with,finding stuff lying around in shops just doesn't happen.this one as I write is with her majesty's people,otherwise known as "customs",guess I should pay the little bugger ouch again...............your right the sweatband is on upside down,wouldn't want a croc clip digging in your head.............

Bit late in the game I know but very nice indeed Jake, look forward to some of your own photo's once it clears custom's

Nah Mate, I don't think anyone would be so sceptical about you, it certainly never crossed my mind!

Mind you I have got a reference picture of an original D-Bale 101st used M1,which I could post up saying I had bought it and wanted opinions LOL

Regards,Gary

Ps, Look forward to seeing it when it arrives on these shores

Just paid the import tax,ouch not good im afraid,left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth,I'll get over it in time,eventually...........

Its a license to steal Jake, The single reason I dont order from the states anymore. Full of fantastic items, Some for fantastic prices but then you pay an average of £30 id say for P&P, Then you get someone knock on your door with your new shiny special thing and just as your arms out stretched like a kid at Christmas they say "ohhhh no you dont! Thatll be £40 smackers please friend otherwise its going back" Its a joke! No justification in charging that much! Anyway rant over lol. Hope the taste is not too bitter and you still enjoy your new helmet!

Ouch,hope it was not too much Jake, I have bought many helmets from Europe which has worked out pricey, but at least I have avoided the dreaded taxation

[ruddersrangers44]

Yep dealing with non EU countries im afraid and it ain't never gonna change,overall its still slightly less than i would have got it for over here,but still a bug bearer...thanks for your comments gents
