Saw those, they come with a butted maille aventail too.  I prefer the nasal helm, altho this looks like something a lord might've worn.  That of course is thanks to KoH since Godfrey of Ibelin wore one for all of two seconds early in the movie.  lol

I'd get one of those but my head is like 25 inches in diameter at least. Half of helmets do not even fit me properly. I remember at DoK they were selling roman helmets and they never would fit my head. It's a shame too cause I always wanted a pothelm like that too for 12th century reenacting.

I know how you feel Sir Ulrich.  My head with padded coif and mail coif is about 26 inches!!  It's been fun getting helmets that fit.  I've basically resorted to getting them custom ordered.  In that, it's true you get what you pay for.  I just hope when they come in the mail they're as gorgeous as they appear in photos.

Put a crown on it, and you can be a silly Arthur-king.
