Intercisa helmets - photos

In said article Miks writes that the ridge and the crest of both the Poitiers helmet and the Kessel-Hout helmet formed a whole.

Miks appears to simply stated that it is perhaps possible to imagine that another attachment method is possible like Poiters for Later roman helmets. It doesn't appear that Miks stated that the Kessel-Hout helmet which is from the 5th Century is made exactly like the reconstruction indicates, or exactly like Portiers (which I might add is not a bipartal construction). Again I would find it unusual that anyone would draw such a construction conclusion when so little or the original helmet remains. It looks to me more like the re constructionist had no idea what these helmets looked like when they put it together (ala upside down guards, and added rivets on other helmets in museums with added "reconstructed" parts)
