Excellent comparison photos, James, thank you. That tells me exactly what I need to know. Do you mind if I lift one or two for CompoSite, as I know I am not the only person who hasn't got a real idea of the size and shape of these things.

James, you should not have any issues with posting this uber rare helmet here my friend, I was looking at comparable models on a French forum I am a member of , and was astounded by the price of these models back in the day, we are talking just over a thousand dollars...I was equally astounded by the fact they have been faked as well as the badge featuring Saddam's handsome profile affixed, which are generally missing from these helmets, and equally faked!!

My advice for what it's worth...hang onto it , for it could well assist with getting your little girl through Uni some day

many thanks gary for your vote of confidence on this one

your right mate the prices were astronomical and to be honest way out of my league ,im more a bargain basement type of bloke ,i think its the only way us headgear collectors build up a collection ,i certainly couldnt afford to start up in the hobby now

as for the fed helmet the prices seem to fluctuate ,one sold recently on ebay for around 250 quid but who knows in the future ,the price may drop out completely ,great news for the collector
