Hi James,
Very nice relic helmet you have there, I like the bullet holes; it really would have a tale to tell!! The liner looked like it was stained, but it may be just my laptop screen, different screens do display images differently depending on how they are set up. Where was the helmet found??
I do live in Chester now; I was born in North Wales, brought up in Broughton just over the border where the Airbus Factory is. I was working in Anglesey the past few months but I am now working in lovely Barrow in Furness for the next few months.
Yes the Christmas market is pretty good, the one on Manchester is better, I was in Chester Saturday afternoon having a few beers with old pals, was in the Shropshire Arms for a few hours which is right by the market, we may have passed each other in the street!!!

All the best, Martin

Hi James,

Yeah i know the Queens Head, used to go there alot years ago when Brannigans was open ! Dont go there now really, its the oppisite end of town to where I am. You should try the Coach and Horses by the Shrophire, they do nice food. I know the shop in the market, been there a few times myself, i think most of his stuff is repro, but the prices dont reflect that, not sure if he knows or he's just trying to pull a fast one ! Has he still got that repro wired FJ helm in the window he wants £2000 for !!!! haha
