Here he is in all his glory...

I have tried to link to the previous discussions about him but the link does not work for some reason so please forgive any repetitious questions.
As this is potentially the source for my first ever impression hock: three queries if I may...
1. Is the concensus of opinion in favour of the fact that the mail shirt is short sleeved? Supplementary question: And would I get away with long sleeved (this impression may be in for some battering and hard work and I want to survive long enough to enjoy it LOL!)?
2. And the helmet he is wearing resembles this (as far as I can tell from the photographs on the top link). Sadly I haven't seen this monument in person (yet).

3. The spatha I have in mind is the Hod Hill type (not yet decided where to buy one from!) would this be acceptable?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Edited to add: The horse is sorted! I just have to match now.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
