I couldn't find any info on the Phrygian helmet (AH 6112) and the Ribchester cavalry helmet (AH 6713) made by Deepeeka. Are these fairly accurate reconstructions?

The ribchester from Deepeeka is nice to display but you couldn't wear it. The mask is way to heavy, being casted.

They are just for display, but would still have to be pretty accurate for me to buy them. I read somewhere around here that the ribchester was a little on the wide side. When I looked at pictures of the original I could tell it was a little less wide. Are there any other problems? BTW the phrygian helmet isn't a replica of a specific find is it?

It looking correct is more important to me than the way it was fabricated, because I'm not willing to spend ten times the amount that these two helmets cost. I'm just a poor student you know. :wink:

On which page would that be? I can't seem to find it.
By the way, without the cheekpieces it kind of looks like this
