Yes, that sounds more likely. I didn't know about the electrotype thing though - thanks. I asked the guard about the Deurne helmet mainly as I was sure it was supposed to be elsewhere, and it looked a little... strange. He insisted (as far as I could work out - rather stupidly, I'd insisted on initiating the conversation in German!) that it was original, as the label didn't indicate that an original was kept elsewhere, or something...
