RON Well-known member Oct 9, 2011 #3 Maybe it's in Mexican $$$ (Pesos) which would total something like $750 ? But then again, French poutine made outside of Quebec wouldn't taste like French poutine...

poniatowski Well-known member Oct 10, 2011 #6 For me, I really do like the Mexican Pickelhaube design, I think the eagle is very nice, etc. However, it just doesn't have the same 'historical pull' that the German ones do. Yeah, I did the currency conversion to come up with $10,000... Ron
