Hey Dave

Sorry but I don't like it. It looks like someone messed around with this helmet a lot. Looks like a lot of suspicious extra holes in the leather shell. The nuts holding the cruciform spike base seem oddly big and a bit deformed.

Sorry :|
 
Thank you for your input. Somebody suggested that this is actually a fire helmet originally and was messed around with alot as you suggest. Might you agree with that?
