shop cleaning auction (helm and gauntlet fingers)

Been cleaning the shop up and have a few things laying around that I want out of here.

First up is a painted great helm (actually the first helm I ever built so its not up to the same level of quality as my current work). Its on the thin side being built from 16g mild, the eye slot is filled with perf making it an ideal loaner helm for Adrian or ECS. Unlike other greathelms this one has a working visor held closed by a spring pin on the right side. A simple machine sewn fabric liner is installed, with the liner its a perfect fit for a 22" - 22 1/2" head, it fits my 23" head but is very tight. Its been spray painted green, has one dent in the top and areas of chipped paint and minor surface rust. Visor is only vented on the one side.

Starting bid $25

Next up a full set of gauntlet fingers. For a small to medium sized hand. Knuckles and finger tips are polished while the finger plates are heat blackened. Fingers are already riveted to leathers for attaching to gloves, actually the pieces for the left hand are still sewn down to a set of med/large gloves. Solid 16g mild construction. Thumbs included as is the gloves and padding.

I just received my helm about 3 minutes ago.

I'm totally happy with the transaction.

The paint was darker in person than it looked in the pic. I planned to strip it off anyways, but I think it looks better in person than I was expecting.

It should work perfectly for my intended use.
