First Sneak Peek at the Dioskouri Corinthian
#58
I really like the looks of the helmet, it is excellent, and really would like to order one for me. I am a bit concerned about the weight, though. I checked today in the quite recent

H. Frielinghaus, Die Helme von Olympia - ein Beitrag zu Waffenweihungen in griechischen Heiligtümern, Olympische Forschungen 33, Berlin et al. 2011.

which is a consummate archaeological report of all the helmets and helmet parts from Olympia, the weight of the Corinthians. As we all know there is a huge number of these helmets from Olympia, and not one of them weighs more than about 1.3 kg, the majority quite exactly around 1 kg. What is the exact weight of the Dioskouri helmet?
