I bought what I believe to be a Imperial Gallic H (according to the link to the Legio XX site Matt Amt posted of approved helmets), on ebay (cringing). Everything but perhaps the cheek guards, leaves me to think it is such.
There is a "moderate" amount of rust on the helmet, but I don't think the helmet is ruined, infact I think it gives it a little character, especially once cleaned. I am slightly worried that I may have payed a little much ($48.00 including shipping), but considering the helmet like thise would cost $150+ new, I thought it would be worth it.
The seller clarified at the bottom in the "Questions area" that the measurements were 7" across x 8.5" deep. Much smaller than any of the trooper helmets, all that I have checked out seem to be 26.9" which is way to large for my 23" head size (the trooper helmet dwarfs me head). I know a lot of people say the Deepeeka helms are a little small (like this) so I wonder if this is perhaps a Deepeeka?
Please give me your thoughts, opinions, or expertise. Is this not a bad deal, or is it a piece of junk, and if so why. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys

I know some forums have rules against posting links to live auctions (for obvious reasons), however this auction is over, so I see no problem. I am unfamiliar with any ebay rules on RAT, but if so, moderator feel free, or ask myself to remove the link. Thanks again guys
