Excuse me but I don't understand...the price for the helmets is 120E each or 120E both (like in 60E a piece)? Are they complete helmets (with liner and such) or just shells?
Thanx.

What A Joke!!

There are 3 different helmets pictured on the linked site.

The badly damaged one is worth 0 Euros not much more than scrap iron, the black one has been in the ground and is heavily pitted with paint applied over it, and none are worth 120 Euro ohmy.gif * the extra for postage from Russia.

Possibly! you will find better condition helmets for less money at Brasov Collectors meeting on the 24th February 2007 (to be confirmed) or other Collectors meetings in Romania.

Certainly better condition can be found on German Ebay.

My advice save your money till better looking ones are seen.

rolleyes.gif They're really in "relic" condition. I've found similar ones in antique shops and the asking price was around 100 RON (aprox. 30 EUR)... and I thougt it was waay off for a piece of rusty broken metal, even if that was once a German helmet...

I ask an apology if the offer have offended you
It is known that many new German helmets today are on sale.
Helmets to make in Lithuania, America, Poland
All helmets in a photo are found on places of fights WW2
These is real fighting subjects These is real fighting damages
It is the real history of war
I consider that the price of such subjects much more above, than
the price of a helmet from a warehouse. This my personal opinion is possible
Because only I know as it would be long necessary to go on a wood and how many to dig out the grounds what to find one helmet.


With deep respect Osip
I ask the application for my bad English

PS However an eagle and flags the presents

osip, biggrin.gif

you have not offended anybody, and your English is fine, but the items you offer are in very bad condition, and similar original items can be found here for far less money.

Yes the have the badges on them but I would like to point out that the helmet whose pictures I attach here, most of the "pitting" has been caused by this helmet being buried in the ground and not from combat! ohmy.gif

120 Euro and the possibility of another 30+ Euro for postage from Russia makes it far too high a price to pay for items in this condition, when they can be found here in Romania for less. smile.gif

Misters,
I have apologized for the high prices. I tried to explain the position
I do not try to argue with your letters They are convincing for me
For helmets in a photo dear New Connaught Ranger biggrin.gif I asked on 60 е
However there there were also other helmets
I consider that I have received the full information and explanations of dear participants of a forum. I ask administration of a forum to close my theme

With deep respect Osip

PS Forgive my bad English
