Description
My great grandfather bought this helmet at a clearing sale but I don't know when. Some time before 1940 because that's when he died.
I have been told by one person that it was Mughul.
Other than that, I do not know
The chainmail needs repair.

Re: Antique Chain Mail Helmet
Hi Martin
Sorry for the delay. I live in a country area and our
internet connection is almost as bad as dial-up and has been
timing out atrociously the last few days, so I've been doing more offline ! :-)
As it is a family 'heirloom', I need to consult my siblings regarding your offer.
In the meantime, is your offer in USD ? And where are you situated
so I can calculate the insured postage for it if all goes ok with the others.
I'll get back to you soon.
cheers
Jenny
Hmmmm ... now I'm being blocked to send this message to you ???
Re: Antique Chain Mail Helmet
Hi Jenny
I understand.
I am located in Germany and the offer is indeed in US dollars.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards!

Hi Martin
Sorry for such a delay but I have a sister
caravaning the middle-of-nowhere, at the moment.
That's fine, they are all agreeable, I just have to get you a quote for the
postage. It is Saturday here in Australia so I will find out on Monday, at the
post office.
Regards
Jenny
Re: Antique Chain Mail Helmet
Hi again
The postage calculated at the post office is $105 USD, which includes insurance.
I understand if this is inhibitive and you do not wish to continue with the sale.
Cheers
Jenny
