Khairete!
Someone was kind enough to post this link on the Bronze Age Center, Hermann Historica's auction of part of the Axel Guttmann collection.
http://www.hermann-historica.de/auktion ... at49_A.txt
The information for each piece includes its WEIGHT!
Corinthian helmets: 1343 g, 1570 g, 1017 g, 1982 g (though heavily encrusted), 951 g, 1067 g
Chalcidian helmets: 921 g, 791 g, 742 g, 694 g, 800 g
Illyrian helmets: 912 g, 955 g
Pilos helmet: 893 g
FASCINATING stuff! Should put a few arguments to rest, though no doubt it will cause a few more.
Enjoy!
Matthew
