Not to offend anyone here... that is the last thing that I want to do, so pardon my ignorance...
But, if you are going to pay the price of a Deepeeka Helmet, and have to make so many conversions then why not just buy a trooper helmet for less and save money making the conversions... or spend more and have an armorer make it exactly the way you want it?
I guess if it gives you pleasure and satisfaction doing the work, then thats a good thing.
If these companies are going to manufacture something and call it a Gallic "F" or "G" or "A" "B" or "C" shouldn't it be exactly what it is?
I am so new to this Roman Empire World of Historical Accuracy and already tired of the exactness that items "aren't"... If you are going to tool something and take the time to do so... why not get it right in the first place?
I have also heard the argument that "These companies just don't understand what is right and what isn't" I am a bit dumbfounded on that frame of mind... If a manufacturing company is going to make or create something... then shouldn't they be doing more research then you are??? I don't get it...
Was it Robertson that gave the helmets the letter titles? How do we know there is not a Gallic "LMNOP" ??? Did the Romans or the Greeks or the Gauls have the ability to make two "Exact" helmets the same? (Seriously, I am asking that because I do not know.)
I am not trying to start a fire or an argument... these are just innocent questions from someone who really doesn't know any better... So, please don't take offense.
