It's an idividual choice thing, some people may want a good repro and brand new and untouched, others may want it battle damaged, tripple cammo'd with chicken wire and falling to bits and of course the range between these 2 extremes!dagda wrote:Dont get me wrong! Ill probably(defo) be in the market for another FJ helmet(to add to the six other repros from ATF, Gmax,RZMilitaria ) I just dont get the whole buy a 500 quid helmet to make it look like its been in a bog for 60 years, but then again 'there is none as queer as folk'
If people could afford (and find) the genuine helmet they wanted then they would buy it. But because FJ and other helmets are so expensive it puts them outside their price range and in step helmet repro creators such as myself and Mike.
Why do you have 6 helmets - probably beacause you liked each one as you came across them but why settle for those ones when you can get a better one......LOL p.s. add £100 if you want the 'bog' look
