Quote:Don't know if it fits in with the type but, anyone have information on the horn spangenhelm from Cologne? I believe it was found in a childs grave.
My apologies for scanning the image this late, especially since we've discussed it before on RAT...
The exact dating of the grave is unclear. It may be as late as the 7th c. though. I must also say I'm a bit puzzled by the reconstruction - the holes continue around the front of the helmet..
