Egfroth,
I'm inclined to agree.
Good question. It isn't my assumption, though. I was just quoting the website's description of the helmet. Here's the original link : [url:3nsa9cni]http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/06/eust/hod_42.50.1.htm[/url]
Frankly, I prefer not to have a nose guard on my helmet anyway since it's more common in later types as you say.

I'm inclined to agree.
