I would like to reply to Crispvs, by pionting out to him there are aspects of this article with which I am not happy about also. When submitted to the 11AVG some lady decided to re write certain parts, as I was told in order to correct for grammar, where the term LOTS OF becomes better than MANY or SEVERAL I realy do not know. Then it has been said that I own a fiberglass copy of the original, which of course I don't. The copy was kindly loaned to me by the Kalkriese. It would also appear that Crispvs has made a bold statement that may need qualification, ie all of the published face masks or helmets have Brass hinge arrangments. In his consideration of the brass edging of this fase mask, it might be well to point out that some of these holes are behind the level of the brass edging. This I am sure must indicate that these holes were put there before the edging, for if a sheet of silver covered the mask and was wrapped around it no holes would have been seen.
