Sexy helm...what caused the dents? is it from normal fighting or something more vigorous?

Probably bears.
I think this was for sale before; $550 looks to be a very nice deal.

dents caused by a newb not knowing how to use a shield to block
It was on sale before but I still need to get rid of it. It is a decent helm and looks nice. If I was fighting I would keep it but I am out of the SCA for awhile due to job related issues.

society minimum does not protect against a helmet getting dented to unusable in a short time frame.

Minimums don't last here in Atlantia. My wife had a helm turned into an accordian by our fighter practices.

I can understand a society minimum helmet not lasting long.
But, this is 14ga, not 16ga.

How thick do you think 14 g. is after it is dished?

By that same ilk... "but this is Atlantia, not Meridies."
Dern Atlantians! I hear they're a bunch of thugs! Even heard some of them like to put dents in shiny new helmets!
That helmet is gorgeous. Someone's gonna pick up a nice looking piece of kit!

I can see I will not be able to sell this helm in this forum. If a mod could please close or delete this thread it would be appreciated. Thank you.

If I had the cash I would pick it up. Someone should buy it, but right now I have noticed that armour sales are way down. A sign of the times,
