@Packersfan History of sales anyone and our credibility plus paperwork the painter of the helmet signatures easy verified. The top guys in f1 memorabilia no different to the classic car market
@Packersfan we have been in this business for a long time. The difference between replicas and real race used helmets is pretty straight forward everything is numbered raced and authenticated signatures as well
You have to understand that the market is flooded with fakes.
What paperwork comes with this to authenticate autograph and that it's been used in a race? Feel like I'm buying on ebay and the item shows up in newspaper and a self made cardboard box.
