I have just received the exhibition catalogues for the 2000 years Varusschlacht exhibitions in Kalkriese etc..
They show photos of this helmet:

which was classified by Robinson as Italic B.
The helmet has now been restored and it turns out that it actually had eyebrows. They consist of three parallel ribs but their form is actually more similar to eyes than to eyebrows. The look is very similar to the Weisenau-Guttmann type helmets.
