Quote:These all have leather lining on the bowls, or in some of them the base ring, which is essentially part of the bowl. I have yet to see an Intercisa example that does not have leather stitching along/inside the bowl.Ok, did some research, and I spoke too soon!
The evidence is mixed. Only the two Berkasovo helmets do not show lining holes on the bowl as far as I can see. My replica only has lining on the cheek plates and neck guard.
All the other do: Deurne helmet does have them, as does the Concesti, the De-el-Medinah.
The Intercisa helmets also show lining holes on the bowl.
None that I can see however show any rivets there... Which leaves that Augsburg helmet?
