Your friend in the US Bob. TESTIMONIALS --------------------------Dear sinature11,Dear VKJain,I was delighted to receive the helmet last evening. Thank you for alerting me to its arrival. You were right on target.The helmet is inspiring! The first thing I saw when I took it out of its wrapping was the chain mail. I couldn\'t help think about the person who wore it--and the person who created it. It is such a paradoxical artifact; it is so beautiful and sensual, yet created to signify war. I feel privileged to be the steward of something so significant.Thank you also for answering my questions about the helmet; I am new to the subject of Asian armor and your communication was a welcome introduction. Your regular updates on the shipping were also appreciated. I look forward with pleasure to visiting your site in future.Kind regards,- VKJain,
Very generous of you to hold that piece for me. If I can\'t raise the funds soon you will have to let some one else buy it.
I understand that you run a business and not a charitable organization.
Again, thanks for being a very considerate person and I hope I can move my antiques on enough to buy more of your offerings,
which clearly are chosen for intrinsic quality.
The apparent Turkish helmet that I bought from you recently is unlike any other that I have ever seen, and its design and decor
are very elegant and harmonious. Ottoman helmets that I have seen in photos from museums reveal a penchant for decor organized
in strips or lobes moving from the base to the peak. The one I bought does just that with every fourth strip gilded. The artisan who chiseled the floral design even went to the trouble of representing different kinds of flowers. Interesting.........You are welcome to quote this for a testimonial............

Nick Bell . UK TESTIMONIAL -----------------------Hello, VK:
\"Yes\", you have my permission to reprint/forward/duplicate any and all of my emails to you without needing to ask me each time.
I have been VERY PLEASED with the 3 items that I have purchased from you during July-August 2010: (1) the \"Pious Fish\" (a very well-made, heavy-metal, bronze-artwork, fish-figurine that Shia Muslims used during their commemoration of \"Ashura\" and the martyrdom of their Imam Hussain -- this is a truly remarkable, religious item that belongs in a serious cultural museum.); (2) the \"Lilal Helmet\" an Indo-Persian helmet with the very scarce \'Lilal\' or crescent-moon/star atop the helmet -- which is surprisingly very heavy (would very well protect the head during battle) and which has nicely engraved Arabic-text protection-blessing prayers -- one of the better helmets that I have seen offered; and (3) the \"Lilal Shield\", which is a larger-than-usual size, heavy (indicating good sound quality -- not a cheap, light-weight, \'tinny\' just-for-the-tourist item), with incredibly detailed \"hand-chiseling\" of Arabic text [whereby the metal surrounding the letters was \'beaten down\' to all the text to appear \'up raised\'] in numerous places atop the shield, and for images it has 4 very detailed \"Lilal\" or \'crescent-moon with star\' designs atop the shield, [all of this hand chiseling of letters and artwork indicates a very long and arduous work -- not something that was easily \'mass-produced\' just for the tourist trade].
I am MOST PLEASED with your quick email replies to my inquiries about these items, and your FINE PACKAGING of ensuring that a lot of wrapping materials were used to protect these items during shipment.
I look forward in making future purchases from you.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Garrison

I thought I\'d send you this quick note to say I am very pleased for you
to print, forward, duplicate, any email I send you for any purpose you
feel fit.
I must say I was very sceptic on purchasing any items over the Internet
from such a distance you always hear of bad experiences but dealing
with you has been a revelation you have always been very quick to reply
to my emails regarding both my purchases from you. The tracking system
from FedEx was very good the items left India & 5 days later they were
in my lounge on display. As for the 2 helmets I have purchased from you
both are amazing the engraving is beautiful and the chiseling is first
rate both are very heavy pieces of armor as you can guess I\'m very
happy with both of them.
I check the site weekly to see what’s there & when monies are available
I would not hesitate to make future purchases from yourself
