Quote:There was a helmet posted here on RAT some time ago that was made from two pieces. I remember Matt Amt was quite surprised to see a two piece helmet where the neckguard appeared to be added on. Unfortunately, I do not have the thread or remember the precise find.I remember that thread. The helmet was an Italic A and I believe that the neck guard was riveted on. The helmet bowl was one piece. In contrast, the helmet on page 114 of D'amato's book shows a seam separating the two halves of the helmet bowl. The metal of the seam shows a nice copper color where the artificial aging didn't take.
