Wow, nice! That's actually pretty affordable.

Can I put some dents in it? :)

Ah yes the Armet style helm has always been one of my favorites! Great acquisition!  :)

Of course. You already know that I hit back. :)

Yeah, I've always liked this style too. I hemmed and hawed about purchasing it, because I don't think it matches my harness quite right. Its the right period, but not quite the right style. However, I got to see one up close and was very surprised to the price-to-quality ratio. (Ed, this is the same one that Tom has.) It has a somewhat modern-made look to it, but isn't too shabby. Its pretty solid, comes with a pretty good liner, and is made to measurement. I needed a helmet with more facial protection for free play, so with all of the above considerations, I think its close enough in style to my harness that I can be content with it. :)

Good deal. Yeah, I like Tom's, it looks pretty good. I've always loved the Armets. It'll look good even if it's not a 100% match!
