Hi Cerjak

Can you manage to get a picture of the inside of the 'mohawk'?

Hi Cerjak,

What can you see on the inside of the seam of the 'top' of the mohawk I can't quite make it out?
Is there some kind of join? Could you get a closer picture by any chance?

Hi Cerjak,


Congratulations, the helmet is in best possible and virtually 'untouched' condition!

I remember advising you to purchase it in

Hi Cerjak

It's a very impressive helmet. Thanks for all the additional pictures. Very useful.
By coincidence I was offered a similar helmet recently and am hoping to compare construction.
I'm particularly interested in the area indicated below. There looks like an almost undulating pattern on the highest point inside the crest?
It may just be the light, but if you could check or photo close-in to show that area, it would be really helpful.
Many thanks

Gene
