Quote:Below are the links to the helmet Brian Stobbs made. All the rosettes on this helmet are silver and the edging has a "rope" like design. Lindenschmit mentions that the left cheek piece with the brass rossettes was a replacement since the right cheekpiece has the same rossettes as are present on the rest of the bowl. I also included a photo of the same reconstructed helmet with the cheekpiece containing brass rosettes.
Brian Stobbs, in my opinion, has truly mastered this helmet.

I am not taking away anything from Konig who in my opinion is an excellent craftsman but we must also recognize others who are capable of the art as well.
