I don't see problems with this M43 cap, but the prices of this dealer are insane

This dealer has written several reference books on SS helmets in particular I’m hoping this is legit I just don’t see a makers mark inside.

Hmm, as I said in our PM,if you are unsure about buying,, DON"T!!!!!!! Save that cash and buy a years worth of groceries, adopt a dog,help a needy family, down payment on a motorcycle, as these caps are NOT that rare and why buy an item just to look at on a shelf,thats a lot of cash tied up, IMO


I look at all my relics sitting on shelves, stored away and shake my head in semi discust, wish I had all the cash I spent on this stuff and instead have a eye operation, or my health back, or help my needy poor as crap neighbors.
