Quote:Susanne... don't know anything about your head size but you may want to check out the Corinthian in the Albinion Moat sale. It might be a good fit for an adult female. Fit, in a Corinthinan I believe, is a major issue. Its $90, regular price $375.
May I have a link to the site? Thanks! 90 dollars... that would make 700 Swedish crowns; not bad at all. :twisted:
A wonderful addition to my ancient themed office / bedroom, it may well deserve a spot in my newly purchased glass showcase given that it is able to bear the weight of the helmet.
Groaning shelves are a bad thing.Speaking of Corinthians, I found one dated to 560 BCE at our local museum (Medelhavsmuseet); I will try to talk the staff into taking it out for me to photograph and put into a new thread here.
Quote:- I've just measured them, Embarassed and the diameter of the shield is 2.2 x the height of the greave, where it should be (in my reckoning), nearer 1.8, so they are a bit small. Hawkeye Susanne!
