Thank you very much Alanus. My OH is no expert but he thinks it could be a Roman Legionnaires helmet. It seems to be made of copper and brass and has leather straps attaching the side pieces and then a tie under the chin. The bits that go over the ears seem to be hand hammered. As you will see from the photos, one of the side pieces is unattached because the leather has snapped, the leather is very worn and dried out. Also a couple of the studs/rivets appear to be missing. I think it's maybe had one battle too many!
I don't seem to be able to add the photos, I must be doing something wrong so will try and find instructions on the site.
Thank you again for your help
