This ebay seller with another couple of accounts has been doing this for years. And he's gotten better. If in doubt at all and I mean at all of his liners are fakes. There's a start! It's all out there on other forums as it has been for years, just a quick google search of his ebay name will...

Hi Steve Great job with the chinstrap. I've also had a lot of experience with repairing leather. Re-coloring that wouldn't be difficult at all but I'd recommend the kiwi polish liquid dye as it has more synthetic qualities. The join you completed so well can be rubbed down gently with sandpaper...

....unbelievable, what can I say that hasn't already been said......just an amazing collection!

This one's mine Gus and it's good for nearly 100kms but you pay for what you get in the ebike world, combine it with fresh air and amazing bike tracks......it can't be beaten. Oh and I can use peddle assist at any time and it's almost my only mode of getting around.

Buy a bike, you guys have the best in the world ......but I cheated I imported one of your best electric bikes......no legs required! But seriously bike riding at a leisurely pace is the way to go.

Get well soon Brian

But I wonder too if they were selling 'legitimate' camos or someone painting them onsite and would we now know the difference. For me it kind of reads ambiguously! It's the first time I've seen such an advertisement.....well in this country anyway.

I bought this advertisement some time ago and hadn't really had the time to read it properly until I found another this morning elsewhere. It was an advertisement in a newspaper dated 1920 I was gobsmacked that the Australian government had enough German WW1 camo's to advertise them for...

......just stunning! Thank you for posting it, one of my favourites!

I spent years getting the ones I have and it was a hard slog, I think it was 5 that I needed. I don't like this one for it's unused like state, by that i mean it's still rather right-angled all the way along it like it's never taken a hit or a bend. That stitching also concerns me almost like...

Definitely out of my ballpark if it ever was....but one can dream!

Just amazing! Is it for sale somewhere?

No you're right but it helps......oh the day when I can actually find a helmet in an untouched state in some barn or attic would be my euphoria, it's not going to happen here :)

Sydney, Australia where the pickings are extremely slim. Same except part of my learning and education is to repair and fortunately there are these forums which have helped me conserve and doubly the pleasure of viewing others beauties!

Nice helmets Spiker, really nice! Fortunately living way down here people are not so controversial about what one collects.....actually most appreciate the education when I show some of what I collect. I collect mainly from an artistic aesthetic and the picklehaube wins hand down for the...

What an amazingly immaculate find!

$2000 is unrealistic but the day will come very very soon that it will be normal. They have doubled in the last two years!

You'll have a lot of fun Drew. There's so many tips and advise here that comes from experience you can't go wrong. I used a very fine automotive filler to fill in all the blemishes of the exterior, that's where I started. Good luck and keep us updated as I enjoy seeing the before, during and...

Welcome Drew. They're a lot of fun to restore as opposed to steel helmets and in my opinion a lot easier. You'll enjoy it. Wayne

Looking better already....amazing!
