Thanks very much. I'll send you a link when I get a picture taken of it. Its an older Deepeeka AH6715 heavy cavalry helmet that I modified. I tore out all the leather lining because it was junky and replaced it with a quilted linen lining stuffed with wool batting. I replaced the junky edging with deerskin. I cut down the neck flap by at least a third, dished the cheek pieces so they actually fit and put a ridge in the nose guard so it wasn't just flat. I makes it at least passable. :wink:
Cheers,
