That is a bunch of hats you two have. Mine are only three. Well, considered I only have one head, three are already overkill.

Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!
The time of heroes is dead: the christ god has killed it, leaving nothing but weeping martyrs and fear and shame.
If we die... it will be for GLORY, not gold.

Here's mine. I got through MRL back in '93 (Catalog #29). It says "Hand made from 4 pieces of 16 gauge steel by expert craftsmen in the U.S." I've always been pleased with it, though couldn't imagine actually fighting in the confining thing! Just curious: as this was pre-Windlass, does anyone know who these "expert craftsmen" were?

I'm pretty impressed with this. I have a friend who's eyeballing a GDFB bascinet , and I do believe this just convinced him.

It's a functional helm at a great price. Unless your friend has a tiny head, he MUST purchase the large version to allow for proper padding.
My only regret is that I don't have the funds to purchase a truly beautiful, custom fitted helm. I purchased what I could, and modified it in order to both dress it up and make it more functional.

Wow, LOTS of great hats, here! Have to add my latest baby, just finished a few days ago (though I still have to get horsehair for the plume):
Enjoy!

Fantastic helmet Matthew. I've been following your "making of" thread on the Armour Archive with great pleasure!

Nice helmet, really like some of the detail, but I think you might need to see a dermatologist... your skin looks terrible in that shot

I've already posted this image (among others) in another topic, but a myArmoury member suggested I should post a photo here too.
Here's my new sallet, by Albert Collins, in the mail to me now. I think he did a great job, judging on the photos he sent me.

Here is my Valsgarde 6 helm made from the Zweihammer kit with the help of a local armourer.
It was made for SCA, thus some of the unhistorical parts (face plate, etc)

Very nice David! Unfortunately, SCA regulations require us to compromise historical accuracy with passing inspection.  Your helm has a nice balance!
How was your experience with Zweihammer Amoury? I have a very good friend interested in their "Topfhelm (Crusader) Helmet Kit", and would like to pass along your impressions.

My new thirteenth/fourtheenth century norwegian kettle hat made by Albert Collins.
This one is mainly inspired by one of two helmets found in Bejarn (Lofoten, Norway), but also has features seen on similar helmets found in other parts of Norway.
There are in total 7 similar helmets in Norway and one in Sweden. They look like they are made by the same craftsman, or atleast heavely inspired by eachother and feature the same overall look, construction and decoration.
Im extremly pleased with how this helmet turned out. It has a very realistik feel to it without beeing sloppy with finnish and details, that prety close to the originals (or what's left of them). It looks like its made by a really skilled craftsman in a short amount of time. After seeing several of the helmets in museums it really feels like it's "one of them".
Also... this is the first time in ten years I have ordered a custom piece that have been finnished in time

The brim of the helmet is actually prety thin, but is folded down so it looks thicker. Probably to add strength.

A nice little detail here is that the "cross" part of the helmet is thicker on the top. This is actually only at the edges, and not at the middle of the "cross".

Inspired by the heavely fragmented cheekguards on another helmet found at Bejarn.

Decoration on the side of another helmet found in Ringsaker, Hedemark, Norway. I plan to add these to my helmet (therfore the holes on the side).

Thank you for the compliment! 
As to your question, my experience with Zweihammer was a good one. My kit arrived in a timely manner and the parts were of great quality. If you or someone you know is good with armouring, the Valsgarde kit can be put together in one day. Mine was (along with a healthy amount of swearing!) As to the topfhelm, I know two fighters who have one of Zweihammer's Topfhelms. They are VERY impressive and imposing looking in real life. Both of the fighters who use them seem to love them too. Zweihammer's helm kits are very sturdy once put together, though somewhat heavy. Hope that helps.
