WTB: Inexpensive New/Used SCA 16th Century Helm

I'm looking for a 16th century helm I can use for the SCA. I like close helms and burgonets, and would prefer a helm with a visor on it, although bargrills are an option. My head is 23" around. I'm willing to entertain offers for any styles, as I can't be picky with my budget, and likely won't be able to afford a new one anytime soon.

If a seller would be kind enough to put me on a payment plan, I'd appreciate that as well. Depending on the price and whether I want your helm or not, I may beg you to work something out with me, or I may be able to pay in full. I'll say now that for a $300 helm, it would be most easy for me to make two $150 payments, for example, over a period of a month or more, probably. If someone doesn't have a problem wit that, I'd appreciate it.

Either way, post your helm if you're willing to part with it at a price that you think is a bargain and I'll let you know if I'm interested!

You can email me images at wisgliebau@yahoo.com

If someone posts a helm here, and another user makes an offer to purchase it, I'd appreciate it if they let me get dibs, since I'm the one asking. If I don't or can't obtain it, I wouldn't mind someone else sneaking in on othe offer, at all.

Thanks!

(p.s. Of course I know about Armour and Castings. I'd prefer to see what kind of helm I can get from a fellow member at a good price before I order a custom helm from the Ukraine. I've also suffered from communication problems with Beathan in the past, but that may be because I didn't have cash to do anything...)
