[quote="Rado" post=313490]Today I received this sketch-diagram which is very interesting Gallic F helmet different models!
I did those drawings something like six years ago. They were intended for use for production in India, and how it would be possible to make a couple of different helmets from one basic bowl by changing the cheekpieces and fittings. I based the angle of the neckguard on the Sisak find as illustrated in Militaria Sisciensia. Robinson labelled the Sisak example as a Gallic F.
Here's the original discussion on RAT.
The Nijemegen and Sisak examples had angled neckguards, while the Besancon version was flat. If I recall correctly, the final Deepeeka version was based on Christophe of Armae's drawings of the Besancon helm.
