a new Imperial Gallic \"I\" helmet

[marcos]

I understand what you mean, but the helmet is obviously original, otherwise I didn't put it over RAT. What you are seeing is not the patina of the surface but the overstanding encroustation. To see the patina beneath, you can enlarge pic 2.jpg. Look above all where the ear protection is broken, you can see the original patina.
I'm not surprise the deepeka is identical simply because is a copy of the Aquincum, which is -as I said- very very close to this I'm showing.
