This helmet should be finished out within a week or so. It's actually a first-run using a 2-piece visor pattern. I previously used a 1-piece pattern. I think the 2-piece pattern does not really take any less time to make, but it is a bit easier, as hard-to-reach areas can be shaped before the welding is done.
It is mild steel, 13 ga skull, 14 ga skirt and visor. The visor will have a removeable hinge arrangement. It will have a satin finish when complete.
Size is about 23-1/2, "ordinary" proportions.
A similar helmet can be seen here:

Base price for the completed helmet is $600. Some available options:
Vervelles: $65
Leather attachment band for aventail: $20
(If you order vervelles, it will come with a paper pattern for the aventail attachment band if you want to make your own.)
Lining holes: $25
Exchange grill visor: $120
Leather chinstrap: $16
If I find a buyer here, I'll finish it out (eye slit shape, breath pattern, vervelles, exchange grill, etc) to the specs of the buyer, and I'll offer special super-saver US insured priority s/h for $10. That will probably save $25-$35 on this helmet, depending on buyer's location.
Questions/comments/suggestions welcome.
