About the brass inlay on the brow reinforce, I think I have spotted a detail which might salve the problem of connecting the brass to the brow reinforce.<br>
However I wanted to know what any of you guys think about it. The details on the enhanced photo are difficult to recognize.<br>
If you look closely, you see a hole about an inch to the left from were the brass plate starts. This 'hole' is rust colored like the rest of the iron parts of the helmet. I think this is a small mount on the reinforce which goes trough the brass and is peened like a rivet. If this is right, then it would be a lot easier to secure the brass plate.<br>
<br>
The brass plate also doesn't appear to be in one piece, there seems to be two plates with a separation in the middle.<br>
<br>
As always, your thoughts and knowledge will be highly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
