Quote:actually to add to that, what are the odds that both helmets have the same piece of iron sticking out near the nasal area. Two "different" helmet having that? I don't think so. Either it is the same helmet, or a fake based on the same template.If Andreas' information is indeed correct, I'm more inclined to accept them as genuine. It's of course theoretically possible that they came from the same workshop, and perhaps were even discovered together. But like all artefact robberies, these helmets never turned up in scientific publications, which will leave us wondering forever what theor origins were.. ad:
