Quote:To me the helmet as described sounds like one of these albeit with horns and a plume added which considering the construction would be quite possible to do, it also seems to be reasonably contemporary with Homer and not too far away.

Shüsselhelm

Shüsselhelm

see: Markus Egg "The Altestten Helme der Hallstattzeit" in "Antike Helme" RGZ
I considered that option. But there are no extant examples that have cheek guards and are capable of having a horsehair crest and horns attached. Everything seems to point to the kegelhelm.
