I recently bought a second hand reproduction sallet. The seller could not remember who the smith was, but had a vague idea that he was from Hungary and was also an reenactor.

The makers mark is a stylized bm (could be hm) with a 3 prong crown above. Photo of stamp is attached.
The sallet is welded, but otherwise of exellent quality. Good proportions, munition style finish, hammer marks on the inside and with a fairly proper narrow eye slit.

Any suggestions of the origin? I like to know my stuff ;-)

Thanks. I also found him on Facebook. Some better pictures of some of his stuff there.
