German website details for helms from Roman to Early Med
#1
Hi All...

I had found a website, getting on for a good 6 mths ago that displayed a multitude of helms that spanned about a 1000 years of history! It was a german site with quite an obscure web address and the quality of the pieces were fantastic - there was a helm on there that was made from steel lamellar with an aventail of ring maille and horse hair plume...

Its a shot in the dark but if anyone has the link, I would be most appreciative

Thanks
