Well, I'm pretty sure this is a Nix Imperial Creations job. See the same helmet here (for $100 less):<br>

Terry's items tend to photograph really nice. The biggest drawback is that they're not made from legitimate armor-weight metal (brass, steel, etc), but rather some type of composite, more akin to resin electroplated with thin gold/silver plate. I phoned him a while back and asked him what he uses for a base metal, and he really couldn't answer, only that it's a "modern technique" that allows him to recreate the fantastic detail of the originals as they appear in evidence (statues, reliefs, etc). It certainly does look spectacular, though.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
