hiya phil im good yeah so far no ones bid on it so i guess its all going to kick off at the last moment but i'll leave bidding till then & although i have got carried away when i first started im more wary now. but i will keep it under watch & see what happens

I would strongly advise you to save your money. This helmet is messed around with and has very little paint left on it.

I know that you are keen, but it is far better to save up and buy one original untouched helmet than build a collection of messed with items. This policy will pay you dividends in the future if you ever come to sell.

Cheers, Ade.

Ade , you are right!
Is I'am myself, buy a couple of similar helmets with bad quality pictures- and then sell them triple cheaper for reenactors. In that helmet I would say for 100 % changed liner and 90% that the liner is fake

thanks Ade i keep looking at it & theres a few others on there as well im watching havent quite made my mind up yet but ive been selling a few bits here & there but its still not a lot so i might take your advice & try & get a bit more money together first?

[NickD]

well as you say if its low enough to be worth it then why not but i am also trying to get a good original as well so maybe i'll save my money for now

Hi Wolfman..
Liner is no good.. avoid that one unless it sells for little money.
There are other helmets on ebay much better than that one, keep looking!
