ive seen this one on ebay for around 35 bucks give or take. i think if i got one i'd take the nasal off and redo it. it looks funny on teh ones ive seen in person.

How are you planning to use it? Living history? costume? LARP? live steel fighting? rattan fighting? salad bowl? :lol:

The helmet may be good to use for one purpose, but may not be good for another.

Make sure the circumferance is right for you. I once bought one on e-bay that looked just like that one and I looked like Beatle Baily when I put it on. WAY too big!
