Ave Flavius,<br>
I hope that Julian will be able to take some more detail pics for me (In any case, I read that something has been published on the helmet, in German, as ever )<br>
Not even in my wildest dreams could I pay the lowest estimate figure! That interesting item should end in a museum, alongside with some others in the auction, it is really ugly but it gives clue information...<br>
It seems as if the surviving half-bowl were deformed and, thus, looking lower than it actually is.<br>
Another question concerns the way the guttering is attached to the crest border and how are the embossed (sunken?) lines on it. The profile of the ridge (I would add a view from above to my list of desires )<br>
BTW, are you meaning cruciform brooches (zwibelknopffibeln)or proper crossbow ones?<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
