Sweet acquisition!  :)

You also get the fun of making a liner or are you going to wear it over a cervelliere?

Lord Dane, I see it as my brotherly duty to maintain the martial harmony in your household.  As such, I will accept the heavy responsibility of holding this helm in your name.  I shall discreetly dispatch a squire to your lands with haste.

Sorry Lord Rodney but I must decline your offer. I just cannot take seriously or trust a man staring back at me wearing a pig-faced bascinet. :P

Dang.

My case may have been stronger if I had said “marital” instead of “martial”.  Although, a “martial household” sounds interesting if you both practiced WMA.   ;D

Nice find BTW!

Nice find, Dane.  How will you hide it from the wife?

Excellent! Good to see one without the cliche and as far as I know, incorrect, brass cross! (a plague upon one of my own helms that I must tackle, too...)

I've been seeing new offerings with the brass cross underneath the ocular region...which I think is wrong as it isn't just decorative, it is supposed to strengthen that area of the helm.  Saw one on sale for $175 (starting bid) but it don't look right to me.
