A question about legionary helmet - liuliuliu - 03-19-2014

Good day,my friends.
I want to know who designs Legionary helmet,and the process in late republic period.
In fact,I suppose that the legionary craftsmen or blacksmiths based the helmets on soldiers'experience of war.That's my view.Well,somebody points that the blacksmiths may only be in charge of repairing armors,which could be mostly made by blacksmith workshop in big cities.
In a word,I need help,something detailed about the logistics of legionary armors,helmets is very important to my paper.Do you have any books recommended?I would be deeply grateful.

In terms of Helmet Production, Armor Production, and Blacksmithing Techniques I recommend D. Sim and J. Kaminski's Roman Imperial Armour.
