Greek Helmets. with or without crests.... ??

[Ghostmojo]

I subscribe to the wooden crest holders as well. They are easy to form, lightweight, easy to paint/decorate and easy to drill to create the holes needed for the horsehair tufts be inserted...

Yes, wooden are much more logical choice. But it does not mean they actually used it, get it. What else is there to proove it other than our assumption. Written source? MAterial source? We can not write history on our assumtions...

Your responses come across in a patronising manner, and if you're going to go on the attack - then check your spelling, sunshine! :lol:

As to prove it - there is the logic of deduction. As others have said, although we think of bronze-clad warriors, often they didn't wear much bronze other than a helmet and greaves (and neither of them at times). Shields were wooden composites clad in bronze or leather skin. Spears were wooden with metal tips. And so on. Is it not natural to make something like that out of wood? Why make it more complex? Get it? :roll:
