I was just thinking if you changed the angle of the eyebrows you'd be pretty close. Maybe not such a train wreck afterall.
You think Manning meant to leave those missing studs(?) out on purpose?

It would probably be harder to modify the eyebrows than just remove them so,I'll stick to the Aux. B plan for it.
After I finish that ,the gladius and,the fifth century C.E. spatha I'll make up a pattern for the Red riveted helmet.
No chance it's a fake?

I like it alot,it has the basic look of the other Gallic helmets but,is much more understated.
Truth be told,I was worried it was a fake because it is so different than most other helmets.

Looks to be a possible gaullic helmet, taken into roman service, perhaps,maybe? Has that 'feel' to it! :?

It strikes me as something between Gallic A and,C. No brow band,earguards,bosses or,trim but,the basic shape esp. the cheek guards reminds me of the latter helmets.
Gallic A and 1/2 :lol: however,I still like The Red rivited one as a name for it  .

The more I look at it the more I want one.I'm going to put the other projects on the back burner for a while and,work on a replica of this helmet.
I've worked up a pattern and,hope to get started on it next week.
I'll post some pics.when I've made some progress.

Ave Adrian,
the depressed look of the eyebrows mirrors the battered condition of the bowl. Seems to belong to someone who wasn’t on the battlefield’s winner side :lol:

Re the helmet discussed in this forum:

The helmet is on exhibition at the Museum Carnuntinum in Austria and also in the catalogue for the exhibition. Professionally restaured and scientifically documented as I was told. No concern as to authenticity.

The third pic you posted there is my favorite, Jim. Suitable for 9AD?

Very good .Thank you.Full steam ahead with the project then.
I'm convinced that this helmet never had a brow guard,the only detail I'm not sure about is the neckguard.
It seems to me that it had two loops one on each edge for the strap so,I'm going to make my reconstruction this way(if I find I'm wrong latter this will be easy enough to fix).
By the way,any idea where this helmet was found?

Some keywords and data from the Carnuntum exhibition catalogue:

Two ancient (supposed) sword marks at the right forehead and right ear cut-out.
All enamelled rived heads are modern reconstructions except of two which are kept in original condition.

Has quite an 'old' look to it, with no peak guard, as opposed to the other 'G's..........
