The helmet on the right is sold already ...but maybe soon I'll make another one :)

both helmets are already sold ...but there'spossibility to order... in similar price :)

very nice, fancy doing something a bit more fancy, fluted or phrygian style maybe? Heck, why not both!

Hey those look really nice!

thanxfor opinions guys :)
...this is very tampting idea Mark ...but it'll raise the price up ...I'm afraid :blush:

Fluting, Phrygian, or raising the height of the bowl will all raise the price, but might also make a better replication of what's seen in art. Some might be willing and able to pay the extra cash, while others can't or won't. Good work, at any rate.

You've right ...each cm of the hight up makes the price higher ...but we'll see, I like fluted helmets... :)

Hi all,

One of my favourite sayings is 'a professional job for a professional price.'. I'm very aware of how a longer process, and indeed more processes, increase cost. Armour is probably one of the worst culprits in that area! Oooh, lets add some etching, and a sunken band (which has to be gilded of course....) and that really means that the tab leather should be covered in decent fabric....which needs the eyelets worked in metallic thread...

Ohh, How much?
