A possible example of a hybrid/crossover piece, amended to suit latest trends and equipment.
It is possible that the helmet lost its brow guard over time and was replaced with the nasal instead.
There was another recent find in Poitiers, France of such a helmet which had been fitted with an Intercisa style ridge. (Also alluded to in Christan Miks - Vom Prunkstuck zum Altmetall - Ein Depot spatromischer Helmteile aus Koblenz)
I believe that the French depot find is to be published this year.
