More fun here is a polyurethane version for only 179.00 I suppose it had the advantage of not setting off the metal detectors at the Ancient Roman airports!

Everyone in India is selling Trooper helmet. Even the big companies selling them with different names like swordmart. It is really strange that a company in India is capable of making 2000 helmets in a months time!!!!!!
I think that all re-enactors must start a compaign against such dealers who are giving false information/details and are destroying this great hobby.

That indeed may be true, but I would mention that you yourself in the past (and currently also some times) make false promises you can't manage to achieve. Better focus on improving your own production and services instead of blackening other Indian companies!

I am not blackening any company nor intend to but a general observation. We are of course concentrating on our own production and improving day by day.
Just look at the ads that has been given. Do you agree with what they are posting on their ads.
Yes,sometimes we too fails to deliver the goods in time and our calculations too fails but it does not mean that we ever give false description of any product.
If you try contacting a company about improving their helmets they either don't respond or seem not to understand the concern or that more accurate helmets would sell as well or even better. Only DSC, Alhammd. and to a lesser extent Deepeeka have been responsive to the concerns of those who seek to protect the unwary who have similar interests in ancient Roman helmets and other gear.
Here are Deepeeka's TROOPER helmets currently listed on their website:

All they would have to do to continue sales is to substitute a version of their Gallic G helmet (perhaps with one of the known variations of cheek guards) and add an N to the product number for New Improved Version) Then some of the companies who copy Deeppeeka products would also make the changes and there while would still be a lot of "Trooper" helmets on the market a chunk of them would be acceptable for reenactments. AND Deepeeka would make more money. I won't bother Emailing them as they seem be be resistant to change on the trooper helmet subject as I am positive they have had many similar suggestions from RAT members in the past.
Can't wait to get one of these for my Centurion Impression. The red leather uni-brow is
just the coolest feature!
