Please take a moment to look at all the photos. This is just for the helmet shell, as seen in the photos. Unfortunately, I don’t have the liner. The helmet has some paint marks, as well as some rust here and there, as seen in the photos. It’s mostly straight, except for the area near the seam on the left side is somewhat bent.
