Well, we must see that Russian helmet! Please!

Hi,

Yes you can have any musket or other rifle (decommissioned firearms).You don't need a licence for these weapons, although one must be over 18 years of age

will make good picture tomorow....unfortunately, helmet is not complete, chinstrap is missing
