Is this project/thread still alive?
I've got a pile of helmet photos of the Chalcidian (that's what they call it) helmet in the Walters Gallery. It's scarcely "unknown" but not widely illustrated and the Walters is kind enough to have a "take all the photos you want" policy.
I also have pics of there Corinthian and their Iberian helmets--all perfectly legal, and I could go back and get better ones on another research trip--if you folks don't already have plenty of images.
Here's a nice sample, though.
The Walters date is 500 BC. The provenance is not very helpful but a friend tells me (sigh, this is not good scholarship) that it's from a Russian dig of a Scythian burial.
