For new collectors – Read before buying your helmet!

Wouldn’t mind to see some more pictures of that SS helmet someday.

It's not pretty...

I'll try to find some more photos and add them to my old thread for you.

I think I have yet to see an ugly genuine SS in any condition

Great thread, +1 on all fronts.

I started out learning the hard way. My first purchase was one of IMA-USA Finnish recycled German M18s. I sent the outfit the extra $30 USD and asked to send me a helmet without the extra Finnish chin strap holes punched into each side of the classic shell. Well, they took my money and sent me a helmet with the un-wanted punched into each side and without a refund or explanation for the obvious down turn in my anticipated purchase. Well, the fat retard got back to playing cards and apparently used my extra $30 to up his anty at the poker table. The total cost after repair to my shell was over $750 AUD. So, if you believe the TV family business hype, good luck, don't pay for the upgrade!
