Quote:Conal, I don`t think the central ridge would give enough additional strength. Of course it would also work as a crumple zone designed to stop a sword cutting into the face. Anyway it would be crazy idea to have a thin nose guard which would sink to the wearers face on impact. What`s the point? This still puzzles me!
We need one of our smithies to try it out to see if an appreciable difference occurs with ridging.
As to crumple zone, maybe not sink into the face but slow down enough to minimise impact. One must clutch at straws sometimes :whistle:
I would be more concerned with the actual attachment to the helmet. How well would four rivets hold up in a serious impact?
