Imperial Gallic D Helm

Regarding the accuracy of that, or any custom helmet, often the customer will ask for small modifications that they prefer that are not present on the artifact. Sometimes this is due to the artifact being incomplete, sometimes the artifact itself may have unusual modifications that are not present on other similar examples and sometime the buyer can't afford an exact replica so something has to be changed. As a buyer of his and other custom helmets, sometimes I just want the helmet to be modified for no other reason than it is what I prefer. Drop Jeff an e-mail and I'm sure he will respond when he has time.

Thank you very much for the lead. 
By no means thought to question the skills and attention Mr. Hildebrandt gives to the details of his replica, it's a masterfull work with remarkable feel of proportions. I am arranging some simplification for my own replica of Gallic D as well - bronze instead of silver/enamel/coral.
Do you think I can reach Jeffry through offical email of Royal Oak Armory?
