Only paid $600 for the helm and case! Couldn’t believe that price tag!

The bottom of the case is in a bit of rough shape but otherwise is looking beautiful!

Really happy to share this piece with you guys!

All the best, Dane Jensen

Thank you so much!

Aye, I feel a lot better with this guy then I think I would have with the bar, I hope they can fix it like you commented in on my other post.

I am still on the lookout for a bar like that, certainly one of my dream pieces!

Great with the others, just need some stands!

You have a great collection Dane! I always use simple wine glasses as stands, for my Hauben.
Cheap, and turned upside down the circular bases of them fit the haubes perfectly.

My 4 M95's, the M15's, 10 of them, are also on them. They keep the front and rear visors clear of the surface.
And those wineglasses are cheap!

Wine glasses!

That seems like a good idea. Cheap, a uniform height and chemically benign.

Thanks for sharing.

Mind if I get some photos of your wine glasses?

I really like how yours look, I just wanna make sure I get the right type!

Beautiful collection Coert, reminds me that I need to find some chinstraps and cockades 😂
 
You are assembling a very nice collection Dane which brings back memories for us older collectors. Many of us have helmets in our collections where we scored a deal and you have certainly done so here. Congratulations and well done!
