Howdy!

Look at this:

http://www.grex.cz/vyrobky/helm/p0014_e.htm

It is definitely not a"Berkasovo" helmet but certainly one of the best basic late roman ridge helmets (Burgh castle type) I`ve seen. What do you think. ( I have sent an inquiry about the price of the helmet but no reply yet Cry ...)

Nah.

Rivets too large, nasal way too large and wide, rivets for the chinstrap in the wrong position, neck guard looks odd.

Price? I would accept anything up to €120 as a good price.

Hmm. I'm not sure. I would have to see one or hold one to determine that. Weight and details etc. I cannot judge from an image.

Hello Jyrki...

I must tell you that this man does not produce very good items. We have here in Czech rep much better producers who can made custom items for almost same prize as this producer.
This is not very good choice.
