Modifying an Old Deepeeka Coolus C

[Peroni]

I'm pretty sure that the Berkhamsted bowl also shows concentric lines from the spinning process.

If i were to use the cheek plates from an old coolus E on the modified C would that be more accurate?

IMO It would be acceptable, but not as accurate. as the Kew cheek plate looks to have been a direct development from the Gallic A type plate. Both the Schaan Coolus and the Nijmegen Gallic A have external fastening studs and a double tie-ring arrangement under the neck guard. The E from Walbrook has internal tie-rings on the cheek plates and a single tie-ring under the neck guard.

Best to use the Schaan pattern or Xanten (a simplified version). The Xanten plates are not that difficult to make from your old Deepeeka C plates!!! :wink:
