if I can do it then anybody can , these started as 14 GA. "blanks" from India that were seam welded inside with 3 passes [mig]. The visors are low-buck from sussen , modified , re-shaped and rewelded . The vervelles were salvaged from an old helm and the liners are construction helm econo ones. Be resourceful and have fun

who sells the blanks? I knew kingslance did for a time but he seemed to drop them and I though they were 16 gauge.
They look good,

Very nice, good work!
Does Sussen sell visors only??? Or were they salvaged from another project.

We got a batch of them from Valentine in 2005. Whonew welded them properly for combat. They are 14ga. unlike the light ones on sale now.
These have been fitted out with perf occularia for rebated steel combat. Good job, Whonew! That globose visor worked out well.
TTFN,
