I got it at a gun show. Friday afternoon during vendor set up. I am a life member of the society so I get in when the vendors are setting up. I collect Italian stuff so I paid what the guy said. $50. Rich A. in Pa.

Hi Rich, that is really nice and not often seen. The fact it is named is a real bonus and the price, well Christmas came early for you I think?

Cheers, Ade.

Sometimes i wonder. How much did the previous owner sell this helmet to the antique seller? I mean the last one, sold it for $50 so he bought it for $5? Mercy

Ade,It is always Christmas with this kind of stuff at my house. I buy myself as much of this stuff as I can.
donkihotis7,Maybe. I got this on a friday night. The public does not know how much they do not see because it is sold/traded already. Besides the upward price change for the public. Rich A. in Pa.
