Of them all, this is the one I like best.  I saw one just like this:

Someone makes this particular one but I can't remember where I saw it.  Let me know if you can't see it.

FYI, this one is believed to be two pieces that don't belong together.

No surprise there, but they do look like they belong together.  Someone modern is making these now but the name still escapes me.  Is that a modern hinge on there?

I think the hinge looks OK, but I'm not an expert on it.

Armour and Castings produced a replica that can be seen here (http://armourandcastings.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=254), although they are not producing armour currently.

So I've heard...almost a shame but everyone needs a break from time to time I think.

Looks to me like a frog-mouthed jousting helm and a bascinet had some offspring?
