Aside from the deep neckguard, and that is a nice recreation you have there, the one thing that always strikes me about this helmet is how the crossbands overlap. The recreations usually make them from 3 rods, one of the crosspieces split in the middle where it meets the other at the top, whereas the original has 2 solid rods, one of them shaped to go over the other.

If you happen to be able to get a copy of JRMES 12/13 there's an article about reconstructing crossbands in there.
Or am I looking at the wrong helmet? :roll:
