Norrie Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 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... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon1357 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Although I don't own one of these Adrian? helmets, I do like the distinctive style of them. They character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
