Hello all!
Today i just received my new helmet from manning imperial! At last,after more than two years,but i think it worthed the while.
Here some photos:

I have to say i'm completely satisfied with it. It cas a close fit,especially with my arming cap.
In no much time i should be getting also my illyrian from DSC,and hopefully with my sandals and sword.

Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Lessa - 12-13-2009
beautifull helmett...it's made from lost wax casting or is made from a bronze plate?
damn mannin inperial helmetts are so cool but the price is to expansive for me....
Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Giannis K. Hoplite - 12-13-2009
Hello,thanks for the comments guys.
Lessa,the helmet is made by 1,2 mm phosphor bronze plate, with some parts made from thicker plate,like the nasal,and i suspect a part of the decoration around the eyes. It is made in two halves,welded together in the middle. Otherwise the cost would be astronomical for me! I didn't weigh it but i calculate it around 1,2-1,3 kgr,a bit heavier than most late originals but not out of range of earlier originals and of other ancient helmets.

Nice helmet. But what was wrong with the other one you had?
Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Giannis K. Hoplite - 12-24-2009
Hehehe,this is what my parents wonder all the time :lol:
The first thing is that by the time i was given the old helmet,i had already ordered the new one.
I don't know to what extend you were joking,but the differences to me are fundamental to the overall look of the helmet. Stylistically,i don't find anything in this helmet that could not have been in an ancient one,which is not the case with the old helmet. This means that if i forget to clean in from rust i may find myself in trouble

Ok, I thought the old one was a manning too, and looked ok in the photos!
But, hey, if this one is more accurate, all the more reason to have another one, I say.
I've been toying with the idea of a manning for almost 7 years now....looks pretty good!

Europe, the UK and Yorkshire are in the grip of icey weather. So I took the opportunity to trek down to the local wood to show those softies over in Canada what Yorkshire snow looks like.

Hmmm, you call that snow!!!! :o wink: :twisted:
Good shots! That'll be your new pylos is it?
Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - John Conyard - 01-08-2010
It is Yorkshire snow and therefore colder than other types. Fatal to Scotsman.
It is one of my bronze pilos helmets. I rather like them.
Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 01-08-2010
I quite like my beoetian too. Perhaps oneday, I will get a republican impression together. Any ideas?
