More Evidence of Cast Montefortino Helmets - Creon01 - 04-03-2014
Key passage pages 25-26:
"Four helmets, all of the Montefortino type, were raised in 2011 (fig. 11, indicated by PW11 numbers); sections of the dome were missing on two (PW11-0010 and PW11-0031), while the other two were intact. Even though there is no standardization in their size, these four helmets exhibit a number of similar characteristics: manufacture from cast bronze that was then worked into a thin dome; a dome with a solid crest knob at its apex (missing on PW11-1101); a thickened lower rim projecting on the back side as a neck guard; a rope motif running around the lower rim and neck guard (fig. 11); and, inside the rope pattern, at least two incised lines (difficult to discern on PW11-0010) around the rim and neck guard."

Pretty much what one would expect. :-) Thank you!

We are waiting for AER to provide us with an accurate Monte with a thick rim.

Did you order one? Or is this a request to develop one? If there are enough orders it would probably be done comparatively quick. For less than 10 pieces it just does not make sense, and they will become too expensive.

Not an official request, just thought that AER might develop one as there is interest in a thick rim Monte I believe.

Well, if we get together 10 orders, maybe right here, they will make one.
