Helmet

[Sempronius]

There should be two rings underneath the neckguard, which two pieces of leather are attached to each ring. Your DSC Gallic A should two different way to attach the leather now, the first and most common is to just run the leather strings from the neckguard rings to the rings on the inside of the cheekguards, and then tie them together.

However the Gallic A has another way to tie it, using a something of a small leather strappings (like 1/3 the size of your leather belt), sew your belt underneath both neckguard rings and then punch out a small hole (again like the size of a hole on a leather belt) and fit it over a small knob located on the outside of the cheekguards

Look at the 3rd picture on the SOTW website: http://legvi.tripod.com/armamentarium/id289.html

You can see both the ring inside the cheekguard, and also the little knob on the outside of the cheekguard. Nevermind the fact that the knob is missing in the first picture. If you PM me your email, I'd be happy give you some pics show you how I have my Gallic A leather straps "snap" on to the little knob if it didn't make sense how I explained it. Indeed it is a little weird to explain
