Two days after the auction, the value of the helmet of a former Argentine soldier doubled

In just 24 hours doubled the value the helmet of a Malvinas veteran auctioned online. Yesterday it was worth it 4 thousand dollars, today 8 thousand. Although it remains two days, the family of Miguel "Toto" Navarro does not lose hope.

It all started a few days ago when Veronica, daughter of the ex – fighter, learned through the medium of a friend that a helmet bearing the name "Toto" was sold in line. He sent a photo to his father and confirmed that he was the one he had used during the Falklands War. In the first publication, it was selling for $ 160 and is now worth a lot more.

Miguel Manuel "Toto" Navarro is 77 years old and lives in Córdoba. He was the leader of the team Pucará and piloted an Alfa 528 throughout the war. At time to surrender They took all his stuff, including the helmet with which he dreams of having it in his hands again. His plane is at the Norfolk & Sufolk Museum in Norwich.

Veronica and her brother Mauricio sent a moving letter to the salesman in which they appealed to their sensitivity and asked him to withdraw the publication. "This helmet belongs to you, has an owner, This is not a collector's item, it's a part of a person's life, my father's life. I badure you that all the Argentineans will thank you and it will be one of the most noble things you can do in your life, "says part of the letter.

In dialogue with TN and the people Veronica said the seller Jonathan Colwill, said on his page that He bought the helmet from the widow of an English veteran who had stayed with the team as a trophy. "She did not want him at home because she thought he was haunted. It bears the name "Toto" on the front. I only did a search on Google and I found a Pucará de las Malvinas named after "Toto" and Juan. The plane is now in a museum, "wrote the Englishman in the description.

Navarro does not want his children to buy the helmet because it makes sense to pay for something that belongs to him. But the truth is that Veronica and Mauricvio exhaust all instances to recover the helmetand hope that the seller will be able to read the letter sent to him and remove it from the auction.
