Finally after asking, begging, crying for a helmet wrapped & bowed for Christmas…the wife broke down & found one within her budget. (Well I helped, lied & told her it was $200 less than the asking price) so I had to foot the $200.
However, after seeing, handling & owning dozens of these, never saw one this nice. Real leather vs. the Ersatz leather & still has the factory inventory tag tied up to it. I love the thing even though civil def. helmets are not my area of helmet collecting. Was a great Christmas 2016 ! 2017…who knows
(Yes, it is a real one)
