you bought the helmet from an importer. they are made in India or Pakistan.  They are loosely based on some period helm.
its a cool helm and if you like it , it works for you man. but as far as historical it's not. well not really.. know what i mean? :) i mean i like it and if you like it then wear it hehehe.

Haha well i did spend money on it, and it is unique, I'll probably make it my "tournament" helm or something. I'm going to put a green plume in it anyway from by-the-sword.com because that is the only place I can seem to find a plume.

Museum Replicas has them, it's where I got my black/white/red plumes from. They're like $7 each, and ostrich feathers. Holding up pretty well, it's lasted for a full season, no sign that it's going to "fail" soon, nothing fell off of it - but I don't fight with it in.

Ehh, I have a bit of a nervousness when calling people I don't know. Maybe when I turn older and grow out of it. I'll come back ti this and post my results. Call me a pitiful knight, but at least I be an honest one, in the name of Chivalry.

Yeah, Hal's a cool guy, don't be intimidated. I'm not much of a phone person either. I have random hearing issues from too much loud music and too much hammering on steel without ear protection when I was younger. I'm sure he wouldn't mind an email. He's on my Book of Faces friends and he buys/sells stuff as a business - he'd probably have a good idea.
