If it is the one with the Union Jack flowing back on both sides, then it is the "Cathcart" model which I think they stopped producing. Sometimes you see them on ebay.

I saw one this weekend online. I'll see if I can find it.

While I'm at it, (Not to hijack too much) I saw a guy with
a flat black open face helmet with the chrome looking trim
or molding. It looked very lightweight, possible not even DOT.
I searched and searched the internet to no avail. Anyone know of this?

Thanks.

Now I will go look for your union jack helmet. :-D

Haven't found the Arai, yet, but here are a few others
in case you haven't seen them.

Davida, of course...
Jet

This one, too.

Suomy has a Hodgens rpelica. Not sure if it is still available but click on the pics below for a bigger picture. This is my helmet.
I also use to play darts all the time, and liek dogs so this was a perfect helmet. :razz:

Yep, I have the Suomy Spec 1R Hodgson replica as well. Got mine on ebay for $300 with a smoked shield. Consider that they were a $500 + $35 for a shield, I think I did OK. BTW: There are still some out there, but some stores want MSRP. OUCH!!! Suomy says their helmets are good for 7 years from date of manufacture, and 5 years from date of purchase/use.

The ones that I've run across are the following:
Available in the U.S.
Arai Cathcart replica in both Signet GT and GTR- out of production
Arai Phil Read replica in the new Vector helmet
Suomy Neil Hodgson Gunwind - out of production
Suomy Neil Hodgson that TechmanBD shows

Available in UK
Arai Flag in the Profile helmet
Suomy Patriot

There are also some with the St. George's flag theme, like one of the Arai's and the AGV Stealth St. George.

I'd love to have one of the British designs, but the exchange rate is a killer.
