Antique Chain Mail Helmet

Profile picture for user jmoffett
By jmoffett, 2 December, 2014
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 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
