Mmm, maybe I should have been reading the topic some better.
Yes, this one is a niederbieber with short neckguard. More towards the Hedderheim helmets. Most niederbiebers have a big neckplate, so I don't suggest those for cavalry use, but with a shorter neck-plate they seem to be fitting perfectly into the picture you get about 2nd century cavalryman, putting all sources together. (Facemaks helmets not taken into account).
