What images are you looking at for the 3rd rivet positioning? In Antike Helme the side photo (right side) of the original actually shows the Deepeeka depth to be almost spot on. The top of the occipital ridges are in line with the front rim on the Deepeeka and only minimally higher (milimetres) on the original, the third rivet is placed adjacent to the high part of the second occipital ridge just like the Deepeeka, and all seems to be pretty accurate and not even a half inch out. The beauty of the Antike Helme photo is the lens is a long focal length with minimal camera distortion. The join to the neckguard even starts in line with the bottom of the brass strip at the top of the cheekguard. I'm literally looking at both the original's photo and the new Deepeeka on my desk as I type this.
However, this is very off-topic now so should go to the appropriate thread in Marketplace/Deepeeka.
