We are raising funds for bigger and safer workshop (the one I am working in now isn't a safe, nor healthy place for such a work), so I decided to reduce prices of pieces I have in stock. If you can, inform your friends, please.

There might be some other helmets for sale in near future. Probably a Nikolskoie helmet and two "Norman" helmets raised in one piece of steel. Anyone would be interested?

Some reasonable haggle will be accepted.

Thank you, Randy W and GG Osbourne. Happy
I must say if not the better workshop I desperately need I would prefer to keep it all for myself.
It's a big bargain for such quality.

I added prices in Euro and USD, it will be much easier this way. Forgot about it earlier.

If anyone would be interested in Nikolskoie helmet (welded version) or "Norman" helmet raised in one piece, please let me know. there isn't much work to finish them , so the waiting time would pretty short.
This is Nikolskoie helmet: http://www.thorkil.pl/nikolskoie_eng.htm
