The middle helmet in this picture was hand hammered from a single piece of iron sheet by one of my commilitones. The picture is a bit unclear but the eyebrows look quite good. They were done with a hammer and a chisel, working hot I think, as Avatianus suggested. They aren't as crisp/clean as the ones on the deepeeka helmets but very nice nonetheless. The helmet was the first real smithing work my friend ever did (Quintilianus is his RAT name)...

@Avatianus: the bowls of the deepeeka helmets are pressed so this makes the metal a lot less hard/compact than a hand hammered one. This means that it's easier to do the eybrows.
Vale,
