I've got a minor problem here, which someone might just possibly have the answer to!
This concerns the helmet in the database under the code CSI 02 - it's a cavalry 'parade' helmet (let's not get into that arguement now!) of the 'Guiseborough' type. I have two sets of information. I'd like to know if anyone can resolve it, because it's unlikely that they are both correct.
(a) d'Amato says (p.185) that the helmet is from Lunca Muresului. There is a reproduction of it in the Museum Unirii at Alba Iulia (Fig.268).
(b) Robinson says (p.132) that the helmet was found in the River Soane at Chalon and it is now in the Museé des Antiquitiés at St.Germain-en-Laye. The illustration here (Nos.394-6) are clearly of the same helmet at the one d'Amato is talking about.
BTW, I've added some data in the 'J' type cavalry helmet that was being discussed hereabouts last week. I'll get some photos up there as soon as I can. As it's now appeared on the Internet, it's in the public domaine and I can use what I have.
