Deepeeka is the ONLY source for "off the shelf" helmets which are even halfway decent. Nothing else that is mass-produced is any good at all (though some companies are now doing their own clones of Deepeeka items, with extra flaws built in!).<br>
<br>
The only alternative is a custom armorer. There are a few listed on the Legio XX Suppliers page, though I concentrate on American sources.<br>

Best to find one who has done Roman stuff already, and look at his work up close. Even a good armorer can make bigger mistakes than Deepeeka if he is unfamiliar with Roman equipment!<br>
<br>
Good luck, and Vale,<br>
