I've never seen a picture of the original,are there any crest attachments ?

Here's a pic..

The Nidda Coolus 'H' has an 'L' section brow guard, and as you can see the provision for a crest attachment. AFAIK it was a 'T' slot fitment as on the Italic a,b,c d types.



The Coolus type'I' from Mullheim also had a crest holder probably a spike fitment like the G.

Here's a repro of that helmet that I made a number of years ago. I decided to go with the Italic style crest holder.

I gave the owner a choice of several types of cheekpieces, and he went with what Robinson calls "type 24", from Carnuntum.

Cool,thanks gentlemen. I'm guessing it is about the third quarter of the first century C.E. ?

Very Nice reconstruction Matt. I've always liked that!
