Unless I've completely lost the plot (entirely likely) , there was a "just excavated pic" of the helmet which seems to have dropped off the thread. Did anyone take a copy?
I wanted to look at what system / holes etc had been used to attach the top part of the mask to the back plate e.g. hinge or holes such as the Varusschlacht mask. The pics I took from under the helmet seem inconclusive despite two possible holes in the second pic ....and I'm puzzled. The strap attachment at the bottom I can understand. How was it attached at the top?
