Many thanks to Jens and Andreas. I will ammend the records in the helmets d/b asap. This is just the sort of thing that this site is extremely valuable for. I would quite happily have scrubbed the Romanian entry, believing it to be the same as the one from France. Shows how dangerous it is to make decicisions from relatively small photographs that are not taken from the same angle!
The curious thing is that I didn't doubt that there were two helmets, just that I thought there might be a possibility that d'Amato may have mixed up the photographic illustration! Jens is quite right, there is a line drawing in Garbsch which shows the Romanian helmet but it isn't very detailed and (again) it's drawn from a different angle. Luc de Vos also sent me some photos of the French helmet, from several different angles and these are up in the d/b now.
Thanks again, Guys!
