I think that is one of my photos from Philly last year, I have new photos from this weekend including a view of the leather inside. I will have those up soon. I think I have a clear image of the info plaque too.

OK these are large images so I am not going to post them into the thread to be seen but here are 3 images of the same helm in some detail.
The plaque, this sallet is #2:

The inside. It did not come out well because we cannot use a flash and the overhead light messed with the camera but you can tell a color difference where the strip of leather is:

James,
do you have any images of the other sallets that were listed? I would be interested in seeing them.
