I often use a satin/brushed finish.

I use 3M Scotchbrite expander wheel belts from Eastwood.

The finish goes over great. Less upkeep than a high polish and takes only seconds do.

Most of the people in my shop spend time on the remedial stuff: Learning what the tools are and safety. Dishing, basic metal shaping/cutting.prepping and polishing/finishing.

Actually, given the material that you are asking for (T-6 and high carbon steels) $350 is an excellent price!

Both materials are difficult to work in.

No way to tell if the bars are the min 1". I prefer 7/8", actually. It takes out any iffy-ness. OK, the bars on that helm are not supported. They will bend up and down with ease.

Hard to tell without wearing one first, however it appears that the bargrill is too short, may not be 1" min and is attached by brass rivets, a big no-no, not legal, IIRC. Also, no gauges are specifi...
