hi gaspare
yes the guy that wrote the book on ss helmets wrote a great book but put a fake ss helmet on the front cover of his book with out first examining it then put it in the publishers hands all for a good friend in the hobby. he even admits he was wrong doing this stupid thing with out examining it for a so called friend sad because he was a well respected man in his field of helmets and later this fake helmet was sold for mega bucks greed n money and destroyed his reputation as I all ways say my reputation is worth more to me then all the money in the world with out our reputation we are nothing this is why don boyle ss honor ring man has to have rings in hand to many cons tricksters out there with terrible some times altered pictures and outher means of faking rings /documents lazer beams etc sad part of our hobby stay well god bless andy militarynut
