I heard there were two instances of CA "arrows" penetrating grills, one to the point of painfully making contact with an eye.

I think there are two, and onlt two, ways this helmet can go. Swanky or skanky. I'm guessing that Swanky will cost some big bucks but might end up pretty cool as a one off. Skanky and it would be better not to have even tried.

A touch of googlage makes it appear to be a Baluba or BaLuba mask. A mask from Ghana inspired by the Congolese Luba tribe. The Luba Empire was founded in 1585 so the empire at least, is period. Now to pin down origins of the mask and European contact.

I think the brass was added to give the effect of a churburg globose #13, but the shape of steel reminds me of a plastron/curaissier (think Napoleonic era).
