Helmetcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Here you can see where the aluminum comb was removed and holes plugged up. You can just see the faint outline of the comb.Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmetcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Haha. Thanks Jim. The only way I will ever let go of this one is if someone pryed it from my dead kung fu grip I am however working on a twin brother to go with this helmet The owner has not said if he would sell it yet. All the best,Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmetcrazy Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thank you everyone.I wish there was a better story behind this helmet. I rescued this helmet along with another M-34 from one of the shady dealers on ebay. It was just a lucky day for me I guess. The seller has a lot of Latvian fakes he tries to pass as original. Soon as I recieved the pictures from the seller I knew this would be mine. I think I put in a max bid of $500 on both of them. I know it sounds crazy, but these are very hard to come by. It has taken me two years to find another wich I am working on getting. And no, I ended up paying just over $200 for it Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
