Wow, I'm not sure how you're going to contain yourself for those three weeks, I know I'd be like a kid waiting to open presents on Christmas morning!

 

I'm really looking forward on seeing/reading more on this one when you get it in hand.

 

Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Hood Rubber liner?

Thanks for the kind comments.

Its a rare low pressure liner, could be an SC or hood , made 1942 for sure. So falls in line nicely for a raider set. Whats awesome is that the paint thats on the inside Of the liner is the paint used on the outside of the helmet, so both are original to each other. Plus the liner looks to have been camo painted.

All will be revealed

A great helmet indeed...! I'll vote for a Hood liner at this point, I don't see the slight cut-outs on the sides for the bales like a St. Clair would have.

Congrats Dean - was this the one that was at the MAX show?

Wow that might be cooler than your other one....mike

Thanks everforward I would agree it’s a Hood , thank you for the kind words.

 

Also yes it was bought at the Max show I think blacksmith, thanks for the kind comments.

 

Thanks Mike, I agree with you, but it’s a hard choice between Raider helmets

Dean, is there any words that can really discribe how you truly feel. CONGRATULATIONS on this helmet, she is an incredible find and having two of such a rare helmet is is unbelievable. I’m very happy for you and looking forward to more pictures.
