Quote:Fascinating. Seems like that would actually be more complicated than simply edging with strips of leather, as you would a scutum.
I don't suppose there's any chance this report is in English? I'd love to get my hands on a copy.
More than that I'd love to see a detailed report on the Vierteiliger helm...the surviving example that that has gilded spangens and silver plates.
Indeed, not just edging like on a scutum. There were traces of linen fabric found on the inside of some of these helmets too.
Which helmet do you mean? 'Vierteiliger' means 'consisting out of 4 parts'.
All the info I have is written in German...
Vale,
