Munazio is totally right - Erik and Ira Koenigs' handcraft is above every suspicion. While reading the posts you get almost the opinion, there are guys, who just want to denigrate Erik's work. For my opinion there are only few equipment-producers worldwide, whose products are equal to the high-quality staff from the Aurificina Treverica. It's an huge difference between a fair comment and utterances like "too bad for so many bucks". Apart from the fact, that there always people who go green with envy, we never shoould forget who many hours of work have to be invested in the creation of such an helmet from one piece. If you compare the hourly rates from other handcrafts in Germany, you will see that his products prices are more than adequate in a country, where a car mechanics earns 100-120 € an hour. Of course Deepeeka products are much more cheaper - i bought a lot of them - but they are only good look-a-likes, Eriks products whether miilitary ones nor civilian stuff are highly authentic.
