MAX Show Polizei Helmet

[PAB]

We can all be quick to judge. But if its true then its bad to con a fellow collector out of his hard earned money they are greedy and dishonest. But to to ruin a piece of history for monetary gain like that is disgracefull . Can they really say they love collecting German Helmets. seems someones been caught with their pants down

THATS IT BOYS GET THE ROPE OUT. THIS AINT THE WILD WEST. LETS HEAR THE WHOLE THING OUT. KENS AWAYS BEEN FAIR . AND QUITE ABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF. Jerry

Consider this......
Why change the liner originally fitted to this helmet ? - it makes no sense to me, except for the following scenario.......
The original reinforced aluminium liner would add more value to another helmet......!!!!
I honestly can't think of another explanation, unless, of course, some catastrophic event occurred to irreparably damage the original liner, in which case this should, of course, have been mentioned.
Someone needs to do some explaining.
Regards,
RAY.

I've thought about this also and can only agree with Ray. Sad times indeed, is nothing sacred anymore

a better term

I've never bought from Ken, but I do prowl his site often, and I find this very alarming. To be fair, since he has yet to respond, we don't have an official explanation but...

We probably don't need the hemp persuader to get one. Switching out without anyone getting the wiser. If he doesn't say anything about an "untouched liner", and because of his reputation, nobody asks specifically. Then he doesn't have to admit to being a liar. That's pretty sneeky, and not really fair to us collectors who have higher expectations.

Unfortunately, for all the praise he gets as a straight guy, there have been a number of un-resolved complaints that have surfaced on this forum.

I hate to say it, but with all the money that's involved with this stuff, maybe we all shouldn't be so surprised if this kind of thing goes on more often.

I think a response should have already been here. I watched the list of viewers and he was here for a good while as this was posted and for a long time afterwards.

It is disgusting that a perfectly good helmet was destroyed and ramped up for a little extra money. How much more money could have been involved here? Worth the destruction?

The silence speaks for itself...But of course, how could one answer to those pictures!

I say good work Erich. This is not the first time you pointed out the smoke! Now we have the fire!

Hi Guys

I know the person that has brought this helmet , when it arrives we will inspect it and the post our findings on this forum!!
If this helmet has been tampered with then it will go back to Ken and he will have to hang his head in shame. I would like to thank all the forum members for there posts because without them the helmet would have been sold on to some other collector!!!

This would be very important for all of us, I believe.
And if you could take some pics of the rivets, inside and out, better as well.
You've got an important task Panzerlord,
thanks, Mauro

police helmet

I have contacted the person who has brought this helmet and it has not arrived yet, i will post pics on the forum as soon as poss

i have contacted the buyer and he has not got the helmet yet, but i will post pics as soon as poss
i hope there is some reason for this because alot of money swapped hands that day, that was just one piece, Three helmets were brought to the tune of $4000 aprox

I cant think how someone can get away with messing with helmets and not thinking anyone will notice there must be some good reason come on KEN!!!
