Hello,thanks for the comments guys.
Lessa,the helmet is made by 1,2 mm phosphor bronze plate, with some parts made from thicker plate,like the nasal,and i suspect a part of the decoration around the eyes. It is made in two halves,welded together in the middle. Otherwise the cost would be astronomical for me! I didn't weigh it but i calculate it around 1,2-1,3 kgr,a bit heavier than most late originals but not out of range of earlier originals and of other ancient helmets.
