Here's an outdoor shot of a Quasimodo ESB, courtesy of its new owner, Saltaireguru.

I never knew there was a place called Saltaire.

Between this shot and Eifon's, I'm kinda jealous. I can't afford one of my own helmets. I have to drool over pictures of yours! :cry

You're right but I hate handling and moving it around so I just took the pic where it was. This is a little better.

Believe me, I appreciate all the feedback whole heartedly. I don't think its demeaning at all. When I was trying to research the helmet, someone recommended I put it on therfp because you guys could tell me what it was. As far as the story behind the helmet, This is all I can vouch for. I purchased the helmet 15 years ago in Long Beach, CA where I lived at the time. Purchasing the helmet 15 years ago (2001), is all I can verify. I was 15 at the time (now 30). The individual I bought it from told me his friend in the studio business had it for 20 years (this is something I can't verify, and just what he told me). He could have very well been lying just to make a buck, I get that. But i know I was 15 when I bought it in 2001, and northglass didn't come out til 2005, that's weird. I know absolutely nothing behind the helmet before I bought it, so just trying to authenticate it in some way, or relate it to some replica manufacturer..
I appreciate any and all feedback to help find where this helmet came from.

Added some more, they're a tad dark but feel free to use them if you wish. I'm looking to buy a DSLR soon so I hope to get much sharper and noise free images.

Hi sorry but I have a quick question. Has there ever been an exact replica made of the Darth Vader ANH helmet? Thanks.

Those are some great pics guys, thanks for sharing!

Though believe me when I say Mac isn't exactly hurting for Vader helmets, he's just hurting for space to put them, or I would have sent him an ESB before now.

I was hoping to have an ESB Quasimodo v2 ordered this month. It literally is the most beautiful Vader helmet out there IMHO. Buuuuuut, thanks to hospital bills from kidney stones, I now have wait a few moths :cry. Please keep posting photos everyone, as I'm now living vicariously through you guys.

All these images are making me drool! I need to hurry up and order mine. Finally decided on ESB, ANH will have to wait. Looks too much like this
