Hello,
I have been following along here for some time to see if any Greek helmets that have escaped my attention come up. I too have been working on a comprehensive book on the subject of Greek helmets aiming to illustrate and catalog all known surviving examples. We have found nearly 1400 at present including: Boar Tusk, Bronze Age, Kegel, Cretan, Cypriot, Illyrian, Corinthian, Chalcidian, Pilos, Attic, and Boeotian (but excluding, Italo-Corinthian, Negau, Celtic, etc.). A great many are in private collections or in Musuem storerooms and have not been previously published. I would be very interested and grateful if anyone knows of any particularly obscure or unusual examples that I may have missed.
