The question is not whether it is possible to do so nowadays, the book is concerned with how it was made in Antiquity.

Quote:double thickness nose guard.

Well, that´s great. However this is just not enough information... double thickness from where on the helmet? In many cases the back skull of the helmets is just 0.6mm or thinner, so this would mean a 1.2mm noseguard. However, in average the noseguards are around 6-7mm, and in some cases up to one cm, that would be IMHO impossible to achieve out of a sheet metal. o0
