Hi Guys
New question: I need to know what is the best way to fit a crestbox to an Italo-Corinthian Helm? The helmet is on the way but crestless and no fittings. Also is there anyone in UK that makes or supplies them? (Don't say Deepeeka - their crest looks wrong I think) What colours would be correct? Wooden box or metal box? more info, more info, more info please!!!!
Also can anybody explain more about the device worn around the ankle at the bottom of thr greave - true? false? Historically correct? Is it necessary for re enactment? Does it have the same purpose as the Roman Focale ie to stop chaffing?
Later
Mark.
