I recommend http://www.kovex-ars.cz/ A very good blacksmith. He crafted my gear for medieval reenactment some years ago.. Now i plan to let him make my gladiatorial outfit. I know his material and it's all very well crafted with his own seal it
Personally i also find the deepeeka a bit 'clumsy' looking... I got the deepeeka murmillo helmet but i'm not to satisfied with it. The closings always come open in the heat of battle...

Some of the Deepeeka Helmets are good if you are just starting up your Gladiator Impression.
Especialy the brass Thraex and the brass Murmillo are also nice looking.
But all Helmets are to thin to withstand full contact fighting with metal or even wooden weapons for long.
So I agree a custom made Helmet in combat ready thickness will last much longer and so will be worth the higher price.
I only found a (Hawkedon?) Provocator on the site, will he be offering more gladiatorial items in the future?
