Peroni,
I though it looked something like the D not exactly. There are things on the photo that make this quite obvious. For example, one of the studs is missing on the cheekpieces; there should be four. I only see three on the cheekpiece not to mention that some of the relief on the cheekpieces do not exist on the actual D; the triangle piece near the hinge. The earguards are not brass on the D nor is there any rivet on the browband.
I cannot tell if the peak is brass inlay or riveted.
Of course this is just my opinion.
I'd sure would like to have a look at that helmet more closely.
Peroni, did you get the photos from your friend that has the Gallic D from white rose armory.
