Feel free to use them for the helmet database. These helmets are currently on exhibition as part of the "generationes" exhibition (on the development of the Roman soldier through the imperial age) at the Saalburg. For more information see this thread:

The exhibition is small but EXTREMELY well made consisting of large numbers of replicas of military equipment, spectacular life-size photos of reenactors and very nice flat tin figures dioramas. Definitely worth a visit.
The other helmets on show are a copy of one Schaan helmet and an original Hagenau type helmet found in the Rhine near Rüsselsheim (photos in my web album). They also showed a copy of a Niederbieber type helmet and one of the Augsburg-Pfersee helmets (no photos).
It would be great if somebody with better photographing skills could go there and get better photos in particular of the Butzbach helmet. The Butzbach helmet will be published later this year by Bernhard Pinsker in „Kunst in Hessen und am Mittelrhein“ 2009 (forthcoming).
