[Blacklake] Bad starter helms

[Chris England]

I know we have some new people getting gear together so I thought I would
post this.  If you have one of these helms or are looking to get one the
problem seems to be fixable with a little welding.  If you do not have
access to someone with welding skills you may want to post on the lists and
see if you can find one.

I received the following email from the Senior Marshals list:

Greetings,

We have been having a big shakedown of helmet checking for bar grill
helmets in An Tir.

On surprising thing we've found is the Paul Chen/Hanwei non-visored
helms are failing the 1" dowel test across the board, even brand new.
this happens between the brow ridge and the first horizonal bar in the
faceplate.

Are any other Kingdoms seeing this?

I'm beginning to think we need to issue an across the board statement
since I see this type of helmet everywhere (they are for sale for less
than 100$ on line).

A link to a picture of what I'm talking about is at:

or

Note the visored version seems to be (mostly) ok. it's the fixed grill
version that seems to be illegal out of the box.

In Service,

Sir Daniel
