Helm
Sir William:
de Troyes and others have written about the shield being hung from the neck. Personally, I find it a bit uncomfortable, preferring a longer guige to go over the shoulder.
Sir Gerard de Rodes:
James, here`s mine before it was fully painted.
There is a photograph of it on my armour stand with the full kit somwhere..........now where is that ::)

James de Avesnes:
I can't see the pic Gerard, do you have a link to it? I have the materials ready, but I wanted all the input I could get before I started construction. I'll post pics when I get mine finished.

There are some great helms with holes near the bottom which are believed to be used for this, but it's not a common feature. Then again, there may be only about 20 surviving great helms in the world.
In Chretien de Troyes, there are a lot of references to shields being hung from the neck. I'm forgetting now if he also makes mention of helms being hung this way.
