two archer\'s helmets

[Thorkil]

Hi Guys.
That's me who made those helmets.

The best thing for armourer is when a customer give him a free hand to make reconstruction/replica. But this is not so often. Most often armourer has to listen his customer's will, I think this is normal, as that's customer who orders and pays. This time my customers wanted helmets that looks exactly like those on Trajan Column, including narrow cheek guards, so they won't get in the way when shooting arrows, like they told me. Also, the cheeks in helmets inspired by Bryastovets original, had to be made more narrow than it is in original helmet. I wanted very much to make full replica of Bryastovets helmet, but my customers were limited with money they could spend. But, I think, I can't complain, as previous order was to make two very similar helmets based on Trajan's Column. I suggested to make the second inspired by Bryastovets helmet and to make few changes in order. My customers followed some of my advices and suggestions, so I am quite happy that I was able to make those helmets. I hope some day I will have the opportunity to make close replica of Bryastovets helmet.
Oh, and one more thing : customers wanted me to based on those three helmets from TC - photos in attachment. So, if I see well, there are flexible neck protections attached to those helmets.
