That's a very interesting helmet Byron, and a very nice representation of another.

While we're on the topic of unusual helmet types, maybe someone can comment on this one:

From Kaitsa in Phthiotis and dating to the 5th c. BC. The inscription reads "POPILOS THESSALON." It's definitely unlike any other Greek helmet I've seen before, but the frontlet is oddly reminiscent of later Attic types.

It reminds me of the helmet with all the extra bits attached to the neck guard, used by a member on here as his avatar.
Obviusly a less flamboyant version, but the basic similarity looks to be there. Sorry I don't have that photo to show what I mean.
