I recently stumbled over this update on the conservation work on the Hallaton helmet:

The most interesting observations are that the helmet had a scalloped brow guard similar to the later Guisborough type helmets and a laurel leaf decoration but no hair. If found without a context, these features would likely have lead to a dating 100-150 years younger than the actual date.
