Yes, I cut down the neck-guard of my Deepeeka Intercisa too. It is much better now ... Big Grin

Why not cut down the vertical part with a third (ish) too, to get the thing back into proportion?

I'm sorry Robert, could you re-phrase that. I'm not sure I understand.

Sorry, I've been engaged in a technical discussion these past days, about my new helmet from Cezary.. Big Grin

As I see it, you've cut the horizontal part of the neck plate. The dimensions between the vertical and the horizontal parts is about 2:3. Now you've cut back the horizontal part, should you not also cut back the vertical part of the plate?

If you're still mystified, I can send you a Photoshop thingie tonight.

Oh I see, that's like trimming both sides a little bit ...? I never considered that.

Thanks!

Salvete Omnes

Sorry for not posting for a long time, for three reasons: the work, the work and the work

1 mounth ago y order my late roman helmet to Mardinus based in the helmet founded at Egipt because the deepeeka helmets don´t fit in my head.

This is the model

www.mardinus.c2000.pl/_en/oferta/helmy_wczesne_01.php?id=17

I ask to Mardinus for make another models and is possible

I can see with the legio I Germanica that most of the deepeeka helmets have the neckguard and the cheek guards bigger than the original´s ones they didn´t fit me not because the guards but the shape of the helmet:

My head can´t fit in the deepeeka´s helmets because have a circular seccion instead the normal human crain are oval.

Someone can tell me what is the real shape of the late roman helmets?

Has this any relation with the spangenhelm construction system?
