How about this one?

Yes, I scoped that one out last night. Looks very nice and original. Some sort of repair though to the underside of the rear visor...felt glued to the underside. Probably a tear in the original felt. The chin strap has also been glued together. looks like a piece of thin leather has been glued to the split area of the strap to join the pieces back together. This helme is fairly rare. There are far more leather Garde helmes than filz in my experience. I have never owned one anyway.
 
Very nice helmet. Unfortunately for me its on ebay US, which means I'll be treated with a ridiculously high customs fee upon dispatch to the Netherlands if I would obtain this one.

Regards,

Edwin
 
Sold for $660!!
I thought it would fetch much more despite the few issues/repairs...
Anyone here won this?
