Yes. Thanks a lot
We were discussing about it and we came to a similar conclusion.
I was searching on the Internet so I add some data that I found for interest.
It was introduced that each of the bronze greave found near Olympia had weigh 0.64 kg (1.4 pounds). And helmet without crest had weight 1.64 kg (3.2 pounds)
(information is taken from swordforum.com)
I'm still a little surprised that this thick was enough for protection.
We had prototype of the helmet and it has about 3 kg. It is made from the 1.5 mm thick bronze and from front size from the 3 mm thick bronze and it seems quite authentically D
