Battle Merchant Coolus E?
#1
I'm a fan of the Coolus in particular for its connections to Roman Britain--and that it doesn't look like the ubiquitous Imperial-Gallilc G.

Has anyone picked up (or otherwise seen in person) the Coolus E offered by battlemerchant.com?

I'm not in the market (or budget) for a custom spun repro, so something off-the-shelf is a good option.

The dome looks a touch higher than the original in the BritMus, the chinstrap rivet a touch smaller. Aside from the brass vs. bronze, it otherwise looks good to my learning eye. And the internal dimensions should fit my 60cm / sz 7.5 melon.

Thoughts/Suggestions/Warnings from those who have had one in hand?

The deepeeka helmets are notoriously circular and don't fit quite right. Otherwise, IIRC, this is a decent reconstruction.
