Gallic H won\'t fit proper

[Virilis]

Yes, Ivor is right. I have "re-sized" several Deepeeka helmets like this, just squashing the bowls by putting all my weight on top of the helmet side, the other side leaning at a corner of a wooden block or chair. Just remember to remove the brow guard first, it might snap because it seem it is made of cast iron. In addition you might bend the hinges of the cheek guard (also from the bowl) inwards, so they will follow human face more naturally, make the helmet more fitting and diminish that silly bulbous look.

I think Deepeeka should make their gallic-type roman helmets with inside measurements of 18 x 22 cm (now they are guite round, about 19,5 x 21 cm). Why is that? Because it is much more easy to "sguash" some extra room to the sides of the helmet by pressing it lengthwise without ruining the overall look of the helmet..
