There was lots to do as well as time to sit and talk about wargaming in particular and life in general.<br /><br />As to your helmet ... if it is genuine its about the price level I would expect to pay. What usually is the thing that sest the price is the quality and condition, with good stuff costing more.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-70153796934530285112010-07-06T21:01:40.296+01:002010-07-06T21:01:40.296+01:00I just got back from vacation, and am catching up ...I just got back from vacation, and am catching up on everything. COW looked great--friendly and relaxed with good games. That's my ideal; I rarely game at conventions here because the noise and tension level is thick enough to cut with a knife.<br /><br />I was very saddened to learn of Paddy's death. An important voice in the hobby has been stilled. Quite a few of them have lately, it seems.<br /><br />As for headgear, I just saw an orignal Russian helmet for sale at a surplus store for about $24 (16 pounds?) I don't know if that is a good price, but I've never seen any for sale around here before. Am giving it some deep thought...<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-68396808270291645272010-06-24T08:38:59.307+01:002010-06-24T08:38:59.307+01:00Itmurnau,

They are reproductions and cost me eight Euros each because I bought five (his entire stock!).<br /><br />For pictures, have a look at my previous blog entry (<a href="http://wargamingmiscellany.blogspot.com/2009/07/baltic-retail-therapy.html" rel="nofollow">Baltic retail therapy</a>) particularly the photograph that was part of it (<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CpAXXISsa5g/SnNxHHULuzI/AAAAAAAABdw/voQWS_65POE/s400/Artemis09-102.JPG" rel="nofollow"><i>Budionvkas</i></a>).<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-73488993711913262542010-06-23T23:42:36.979+01:002010-06-23T23:42:36.979+01:00Indeed, the passing of Good Hats For Men is someth...Indeed, the passing of Good Hats For Men is something I deplore.<br /><br />"If you want to get a hat, get a head."<br /><br />Where did you find the Budionovkas?
