Contact Hal over at Therion Arms. He might just know all about your helm.

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.

Don't feel bad; I'm the exact same way and I'm an "adult". Well, for all intents and purposes, anyway. ;)

Heh, I could be mean and say "grow a pair", but I'm going to do the exact opposite. :) I completely, 100% understand. If you're at all an introvert, it's like there's a wall blocking you from contacting a total stranger.

I often find email and facebook to be significantly easier than calling. :)

no. i am betting it is 18 gauge. 16 at the most.
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.

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.
