Long Description
My great grandfather bought this helmet at a clearing sale but I don't know when. Some time before 1940 because that's when he died.
I have been told by one person that it was Mughul.
Other than that, I do not know
The chainmail needs repair.

Hi Martin
Sorry for the delay. I live in a country area and ourinternet connection is almost as bad as dial-up and has beentiming out atrociously the last few days, so I've been doing  more offline ! :-)
As it is a family 'heirloom', I need to consult my siblings regarding your offer.
In the meantime, is your offer in USD ? And where are you situatedso I can calculate the insured postage for it if all goes ok with the others.
I'll get back to you soon.
cheers

Hi Martin
Sorry for such a delay but I have a sister
caravaning the middle-of-nowhere, at the moment.
Â
That's fine, they are all agreeable, I just have to get you a quote for the
postage. It is Saturday here in Australia so I will find out on Monday, at the
post office.
