pammy, first I wish you a speedy recovery and good health, I wondered where you had got to !...sad to loose such a nice helmet, but when circumstances dictate in such a fashion.....then its your health and welfare first !...remember we are ALL custodians of our artifacts, looking after them for the next person in line and for future generations, you've done your bit. I am sure a good home will be found for that wonderful helmet.
Cheers, Steve (Oradour).

Hi, Pammy.

I too had wondered why you were not on much these past weeks.
Hope you get well soon, and will remain an active member on the forum !
