Any thoughts/opinions of this helmet?

[jho]

I just scanned through the exhibition catalogue "Krieg und Frieden" referred to in this discussion:

It looks wonderful and is a must-buy for me. It includes pictures of a helmet very similar to the Kessel helmet except that it has cheek guards and a neck guard! You can see the helmet from the bach here:

It was fond in a Celtic grave in Thür, Kr- Koblenz, Germany. It is amazing how many of helemts of this type appear to have been around for years without having been properly recognized, incl.:

the Frankfurt specimen
the specimen found in Poland and
the specimen from Idrija.

BTW, if you read German, I ordered my exemplar of the exhibition catalogue from this site:

http://www.wbg-darmstadt.de

It is a book club and you pay 11 EUR/year and have to order one book per year but you get a lot of Zabern and Theiss publications at reduced prices and the catalogue referred to above cost me only 19,90 EUR instead of 34.90 EUR. BTW: This is not an advertisement and I do not have any stake in that site!
