New Aquisition to the Collection...

[Norrie]

With @Ham & Jam helping and a wee bit of a panic on my behalf, I picked this up a few minutes ago off The Bay at a cracking price...;) 

 

Its been repainted, and the the pics aint great, but, it's of a type I dont have, so, will fill a space on the new helmet shelf...:)

 

It was on a Buy it Now at a price to be believed....:)

 

I'm as chuffed as a chuffed thing...

Although I don't own one of these Adrian? helmets, I do like the distinctive style of them. They character.

That's what does it for me too, they aint expensive either...just need to get a liner, chinstrap and badge for it now, more internet fun, should kill a few happy hours...:)

Just a pity the frontal liner supports missing...will still take a liner though.badges can be had from eBay France quite easily.

Must be broken as the rivets are still there.

I did a wee bit "restoration" as it was all folded up...but, I did see new repro ones on Fleabay France, anyone think it would be worth doing?? :0

[Bil4338]

Only if you can be bothered! A nice wee project though.

Yep @Bil4338, I'm bothered mate, I just feel "sorry" for these old hats, not looking their best....

 

Just ordered a repro "aged" badge from SOF...not a bad price either...when the other Adrian arrives, i'll decide what one to start on first..:)
