Can one of the Greek members travel up to Olympia please and check EVERY single one of the complete helmets for crest mounts or remains thereof ?

The point of this thread was: were crests as widely used as re-enactors use them today given the lack of attachment point evidence on many of the helmets found.
You can come up with pitch attachments but still that is not proof.
Also, you can come up with many vase paintings, but take into account that many of the vase paintings show archaeic heroes or mythological characters and do not therefore represent actual battles or happenings like these days a photo would do. They are highly stylised depictions.
