It seems like a tall order for those of us who aren't swimming in cash

Hmm. Did you look at Matt Luke´s or Martin Moser´s presentation, or at the model presentation?

Other examples I can think of are the subarmalis and pteruges. None survive. Yet, would wearing them for an impression disqualify the candidate ?

No, it wouldn´t if it were a specific soldier from a specific tombstone wearing such an item were the model for it, for example.

Touche. I forgot about those Then again, those helmets would serve well in my answer to your last question. They are clearly ancestors to the helmets from the Early Imperial period and as such can be used to create a more plausible reconstruction.

A more plausible interpretation, I´d say, but yes.
Again, it´s not that I want to keep anyone from getting the award, but something based not on an actual find is not a reconstruction, hence not eligible. I really hope we get that other award going, since it were quite sensible to also honour work like this.
