"Winning bid: GBP 390.00 approximately US $521.27"... oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Oh dear... 19 bids now, at GBP 310.00 or US $414.35...

Fijne Kerstdagen allemaal :thumb up:

And also, Ron (but don't tell anybody I said this because even though I am divorced my ex may come and give me a piece of her mind :D)... when it comes to collecting, never listen to the good woman in your life. In all other situations a soothing "Yes dear" is perfectly alright and even to be...

Waht a beuati9ful story attached to this helmet!

I know the feeling, Reg! When I think of some of the helmets I sold in a hurry, there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth!

Exackerly!

Exackerly, Coert :D! See you tomorrow, mate!

:D :bravo:

I never knew the leather continued into the neck, Tony. Remarkable!

Remarkable and admirable, to say the least! :bravo:

Indeed, the lining up with the holes is the difficult part. That's why a "glue rivet" is so simple: it's created from the inside out! :D
