“This helmet has another distinctive attribute. It would seem that it was an officer’s helmet, i. e. a centurion’s helmet since the helmet was equipped for a lateral wearing of the crest. T The transversal crest, crista transversa,was a sign of the centurion rank.”
So if it will be made as a replica it must be tinning and on the ordinary model Galic C must be added it: 2 brass fittings for the ears protectors, richly decorated front band , masked spherical trim on both sides( under the decorate band) and 1 on the neck protector, rings with brackets for the leather straps centurion crestwood, ..It will be difficult with:bulging sphere for mounting of a centurion crest.
