Just curious which kettlehelm design is more popular: the two piece welded top kind (looks kinda like a conical), or the three piece riveted kind (wide ridge plate kind). Let the voting begin...

DAMN! Very nice helmet. Might I ask for a better description of how you blackened it again? 20 years of armor making and I still can't seem to blacken steel! And before everyone starts PMing me -I have tried every way imaginable and it doesn't work for me. God seems to have decreed that "thou s...

I know I'm asking a lot, but does anyone out there have any used finger gauntlets that they can get rid of for a decent price. As I can fix them myself -I'll even take some damaged ones. Just figured I would throw this out there. These are for me and I just don't have the time to make them. Anything...

When I get around to it, I'm going to make a bigger one...

Sorry Hackey but due to the small size and all I thought it best to sell it while I could or I may get stuck with it for a long time. Sometimes those extremely small helmets just can't find a home...

Hmm, seems like alot of people are interested in this helmet.

SOLD!

It actually fits my 22" head and I originally made it for myself. Unfortunately I don't need it anymore and I do need some money for armouring supplies..

So hard to sell small helmets..

WARNING! While remeasuring the helmet for a potential customer, I discovered I measured it wrong. The true IC is 24 3/4" -pretty damn small. For this reason I have lowered the price to $50. I figure you would need a 21" head to wear this effectively. Sorry for the misinformation. I will pr...

Are these padded and strapped or require it? My head is right around 23", figure w/some padding it would fit well. No, this is not padded or strapped. Due to the barrel shape of this helmet, a 23" head may be a bit tight. Most 26" helmets would probably fit you with minimum padding, ...

Wow, I find your attitude towards butted mail to be unprofessional, and if not offensive, certainly elitist.

What would be the cost of 14g ss demis?

Hmmm, that is a good qeustion. I usually sell 16g ms for $40, so how about $65?

Yes, I can. You can see an old example (in mild) here:

The new one would be riveted though (as I no longer completely weld all my helmets), and it would cost $150 + shipping
