Well, in that case we have proof that he really travelled back in time. I should know, cause it's my picture and I spoke to him. He said never anything about coming from a certain island, but stuck to his obvious cover of a Polish salesman selling arms & armour replicas. Clever man. :mrgreen:

I would say it is not the Kalkriese mask but is a mask fitted to a version of the Xanten sports helm'

What does that helmet or that sort of helmet go for?

Ow, srry for misinterpreting your question. Don't know what such a beauty will do. He doesn't have any prices on his website and I know there is an website of a movie props shop in Hollywood who has his work along with prices on their website, but can't find it now. Anyway, judging from his other work it should be in the euro 1500 - 2000 range. But that is just my own guess! Best contact him if you want an exact price.

Thanks Jurjen,

Even if you are not exactly sure, I would agree that it would at least be that which for now is out of my range. I was just curious.

Maybe one day I can purchase it. I would like to have at least one helmet from each period and from each divison of the army.

Yeah, I also would like to have a copy of this one. But I guess I shouldn't complain, as I already own a copy of the kops plateau cavelary helmet, which is at least as impressive as this one, when done. (still have to do a lot of work on the horsehair decorations, but here a picture of the bowl and mask along with the original:
