Hi Gus, take a look here at the pics as these are all originals, and also note the prices:

The Collector's Guild

Cheers, Ade.

Nice helmets Ade, for those who can spend $10.000 for a lid

I know, madness really..

I never thought I would ever own one, but was lucky enough only to blow £1,100 on mine about 12 years ago now.

Cheers, Ade.

1.100 is a very cheap price compared to what i see online. Well done Ade.

Many thanks to you all for the sound advice. I will keep looking and hoping .Gus

Please could I have your expert opinions on this item, said to have been dug up from the Normandie battlefields.
Many thanks
Gus

Hi Gus, it has potential, but better close up pics would be needed to confirm.

Cheers, Ade.

What worries me slightly is the inclusion of the straps, being a dug item it stands to reason that the liner could have rotted away, but then the straps appear in reasonable condition, surely they would have gone through the same process of decay and be in a much more deteriorated state albeit that one set has come apart, but it would be nice to see if the shell has markings, but initially it could be ok, but believe the item not the story

Thanks Ade and Dave. Ade it seems the Id markings are covered in rust to some degree. What would you suggest regarding the further close up pics?
Thanks
Guy
