I hate when people lift stuff from websites without asking permission. In this case this seller lifted information from my MilitarySunHelmets.com website, but what is really bad is that the helmet isn't what my colleague Stuart Bates was describing:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=262071422943&web&globalID=EBAY-US&referrer=http%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F0%2Fe11051.m44.l1123%2F7%3Feuid%3D8e2fdf8cbda7451f9d0eed86785cd4bc%26cp%3D1%26exe%3D12808%26ext%3D32575%26sojTags%3Dexe%3Dexe%2Cext%3Dext" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The helmet isn't an Ellswood pattern from the 1840s. It is an interwar helmet made by Ellswood - so only off by 90+ years!
Compare the listing to this article Stuart wrote:
