Hi guys,

i would like to place a bid on this helmet if this one is ok. Could you have a look if everything is original? what would be a good price to pay for it in this condition?

Hi- I am not an expert, but IMO the base helmet look good, But from the photos, I can’t tell if the chinstrap or the cockades are original. I think that this one is at the high end for this type of helmet (if I am correct 799.843 US Dollar), there is condition issues with the liner and I under stand that ,under the visor should be Green (front) and black (rear).(IMO) In the states , this helmet would go some where betw.. $550.00 and $700.00. If you think that the chinstrap and the cockades are original, it would still be at the high end @$800.00 US dollars. I gave $115.00 and $75.00 for original chinstrap and two cockades , so there is $180.00 just for those two items.

Hey George, the colours are correct on the visors, I was not sure how your comment was to be understood, and you are right about the chinstrap and Kockarden, but you may be a bit low on the price, and helmets are trading for quite a bit more in Europe.
Looking at the photos, the white onthe Kockarden looks to be a bit bright, indicating they could be repainted or reproductions.
Hey Felix, at an ending price of 735 Euro, I do not think it was a great bargin, but I do not think it was over priced by much.
Best wishes
Gus
