I was wandering if anybody here could tell me more about this type of helmets?

I belief you call it Weisenau, but what else is there to say about them?

You can also take a closer look here:

To me they look somehowe connected to this Gallic Helmet

They very much intrigue me possibly because of there Celtic Barbaric appearance. But are they??

Hi Faventianvs
My Helmet comes from stahlhelm It's his Gallic Port helm.

I only let him alter his normal product quit a lot.
I send him a picture of his helmet upon which I drew new shapes and other changes.
After all he did a very fine job on it, I am quit pleased with it!

I think that helmets shows the evidence of a high degree of variability of the roman gallic type helmets. Logicall, if we think there were handcraft pieces.
