After my last post, I wrote my KEM. He told me I could take it out openly at events, but it was still experimental. So, they are getting there. At least in the East.

Your kidding right?

I have something similar made by Truehearth. All-in-one hilt and pommel in 14 guage. It's rock solid. Unless Cian can't weld worth a crap, his should be just as good.

Cian, I wish you had this idea two years ago.

Glad it's just not me. I know I've seen a very similar helm to the Roman. Could just be a common constructon style. Too bad it isn't cheaper. Much cheaper. That other one. Well at least the face is only held on by two large rivits. I think they could both be functional and legal with a little work.
