Hi Markus, I split the post into a new topic.
No, so far I've never seen any 'cross-over' type between a spangenhelm and a ridge helmet. The Deurne certainly is a ridge helmet, like the Burgh Castle it may have several segments (unlike the Berkasovo which has only two), but there's still the ridge that fastens them.
Yes, there are 'cross-overs' between the Berkasovo and Intercisa types. The main thing for the Berkasovo-type is the base ring though, which enables a nasal and a hinge for the cheek guards.
