I notice you've made the earguards from iron. Is that from a specific example?

I know of a Gallic D (Weisenau), destroyed in WWII which has iron earguards, at least to the Lindenschmidt Paper describing it.

I believe the gallic F from Bescancon had iron earguards too.
I send you a PM!

I think Peronis or even Brian Stobbs may have a copy, but you would need to ask them.
So when are you going to attempt the brow chevrons? :twisted:

Yeah, thats the helmet I was talking about. But there are also some errors in that drawing. The original had no visible rivets to attach the earguards and the crestsplate. It also has a rope style edge. (yeah, I'm working on a repro of that particular helmet myself, at the moment.)

I believe there are colour photographs of the Imperial Gallic 'D' helmet on the Armamentarium website.

That is really quite beautiful Patryk- very well done. And I completely agree about the imperfect finish- hand grinding sure wouldn't produce perfectly smooth surfaces, especially on a shape like a helmet :wink:
