Just as an interesting note. I came across this Baldenheim helmet from the 5th/6th Century. Interestingly enough the edge stitching still remains on the pieces cheek plates. It is exactly the same as the scale edging from Duros with the over lapping intersecting binding. It obviously worked since it was still being done 200+ years later!
