Thanks Dragoner i know what you are saying and on mine the helmet is good but the eagle is a copy. I am devastated the helmet cost me fortune, i just looked at a guarde du corps helmet i thought about purchasing from Sergio an earlier model so i did not go for it and it has the same eagle i...

The enamelled white outer is there but the black eagle centre has no enamelling just raised out in brass of the black eagle order. My question is, I thought...
