Hello Gents,
I'm currently in a dilemma :? shock: but as you are aware, it does have some inaccuracies
? It fits...but not at all as well as the inaccurate, older version of the Coolus E. Besides, it's extremely plain and doesn't look as cool the E. I still have not shipped the Coolus E back but obviously I need to ship one of them back soon.
My question is this -could some simple modification make the older Coolus E historically accurate?
The main problems with it, as I see it, are the large, cornered neck-guard, no little ring on the neck-guard and the spike on top is two pieces with a simple whole in the top. If I simply trimmed off some of the neck-guard and added a ring, would that make it acceptable?
I'm not a reenacter(yet) but I do love ancient history and collecting historic weapons and armor. I kind of feel like a jerk exchanging back and forth like this but for 200 bucks I want to be satisfied with my helmet!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
