There might be some hidden around in the Tiendesitas antique area. i got an original front seem fixed bale ww2 m1 from there cheap. you can also try quiapo but those are mostly old philippine issue but you can get lucky sometimes.

Last time I went to Tiendesitas, the antiques area had shrunk. I didn't find any helmets. But that was nearly a year ago, so I don't know for sure.

None of us were sure when we went either. It's part of the thrill of the hunt!  Good luck on your search! |
