The helmet was then sent to Rafa Garcia Cano (Aerodiseno) so the signature could be lacquered and preserved.

The helmet then exchanged hands again to the current vendor, who also contacted Aerodiseno who provided a certificate confirming it's authenticity.

Bonhams has also been in direct contact with Rafa Garcia Cano (Aerodiseno) to confirm the helmet as authentic.
