Alexander,
I cannot understand Hoffiller but I have reviewed Waurick, G., 1976: Die roemischen Militaerhelme von der Zeit der Republik bis ins 3. Jh. n. Chr. 237 S., Mainz, Univ., Diss., 1970. He claims that the helmet shows traces of rivet holes and "impressions" (in German: Abdruckspuren) of the brow guard. He does not state whether this judgment is based on review of the actual helmet or the Hoffiller photo you mentioned.
I only have a bad copy of the Hoffiller article you mention but the photo of the left on page 178 appears to show traces of the rivet hole and impression mentioned by Waurick. Also the left side of the rear of the helmet is missing which would not indicate extensive reconstruction at that date.
I would be very grateful if you could post a link to the internet version of the article. Hopefully the photo is clearer there.
