I'm really glad to see some more names added to the list. I thought you all were going to make it too easy for me to win! 
Seriously though, it's good to see that a second wind of orders came through.

I would like to add our thanks to Allan's for all those who are able to support the industry at this time and in the past. While not all can purchase I have heard from many who do all they can to help. We got a couple orders over the last few weeks that where generated by people recommending us to friends and I know many of you are doing the same.
Congrats to Thomas!
Best
Craig

I'm fairly sure I recognize the Prato Chapelle de Fer there. 
http://www.merctailor.com/catalog/product_inf...ucts_id=65
I think I got one of the first ones made and Allan showed me the prototype in pics in e-mail asking my opinion about it in the design phase ( If I remember correctly ? I think he also e-mailed Gordon Frye about it for his opinion at the time ).
It's a very protective design since the rim by itself does a good job of blocking most attacks from above or from an angle above while the cheek pieces add protection to the side of the face and neck from a horizontal attack while leaving the face open for good ventilation and vision: No wonder the Kettle Hat was a popular alternative to the Great Helm and continued to be popular much later evolving into the Sallet, Eye slot Kettle Hat, Morion and Morion/Cabaset.
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

Guess what arrived today?
Thank you Allan! I can't wait for practice next week!
Quick analysis:
Overall product fit & finish = better than advertised
Production & delivery time = one day better than promised!
Communication = Outstanding (telephone, email, PM)
Recommend to friends = You bet 'cha!
I'll provide a proper review once I've had time to play with my new toys.
