I like the paint jobs.
I have read that the helmets, along with most of a hoplites panoply, was handed down through the family. The helmets were quite thin. Would it be possible that the helmets (if one that was passed down through a few fathers) could look old, worn, and a paint job starting to wear away?
I like the idea of a worn helmet, with paint wearing away.
How much into the future do people concieve an Indian Company may start producing helmets in red brass or bronze? I saw one on Albion Armouries site made in bronze and for a price the same as the one in question, but it was only to fit a head 21 inches diameter.

Let your warriors be your shield, and your horse be your saviour, for I will live to see another fight another day.
