Bill, i think it is time to clear that out, whilst phosphor bronze is indeed not the most accurate alloy one could use, silicon bronze isn't either. And of the two, phosphor is usually preferred as more accurate. It would be a pity if the Dioskouri made a great helmet from silicon bronze...
Also, we would make MI an injustice if we didn't say that the welded version is usually preferred by the custommers in order to reduce the cost, MI usually asks you if you want the welded or the one-piece version.
We would also make an injustice to Joe Piella that has also produced several one-piece corinthian helmets. Admittedly from sheet bronze, and not from partly cast stock that is then hammered to a sheet...Is that what the Dioskouri are intending to do?
