Thanks to Tony who supplied the helmet from a Somme marketplace a few weeks ago (Good Man) and thanks to Chris (Kaiser Bunker) for letting me use some of his pictures (another Good Man) and also thanks to the Admin Staff for letting me off of the DIY for a bit. Here's the helmet (an M16) as pictured in Tony's garden straight from the market and complete with price tag (although Tony did beat up the dealer a bit with his Junior School French) : Edited August 22, 2014 by Spasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've shined up the lacquer a bit to give it a well handled look but it makes the photos a bit more difficult.
