Yes, it's nasty! Tongue Those have been around for a while. The "Horsehair" looked as if it came from a herd of acrylics, to me.

Well, if they get it cheaply enough, they can dump the crest and have a nice Corinthian for a good price. If the crest isn't acrylic, they could re-work it into a decent one!

All acrylics, Jeroen, have ponytails. It's a well-known fact!

Hi,all.
Maybe I just don't get it but is the point that it is fallen/bent? or
is it the entire crest? It's not a great crest,sure,but the worst ever?
This is standard issue for this helmet.
:oops: I have one very similar :oops:
Mine has no braided ponytail and is black instead of red,but
otherwise it is the same.
Not long ago I asked in this forum about making a better one
(yes,there are great mistakes) but I didn't know better,and honestly,
mine looks pretty good in person.
I mostly bought it for the helmet .
True,the dimensions are wrong(too high in front and wrong angle).
BTW mine is horsehair.
Thanks.
