way overdo review of Windrose Helm (pictures heavy)

[Gottfried]

Ok here is my waaaaaaay overdo review of Windrose (I'm so sorry Johannes, been so busy with state exams for Nursing)
So on with the review

Item:
16th century German Burgonet

Ordering process was a excellent one and I would order from Sir Johannes any time again.
Some email problems that where my fault because I always managed to write while the armory was at one of the big wars. (one kind of forgets those over here in D-wald)
I felt that I was in competent hands all the way through!
The helm came a little late (wait was well worth it) because of injury, but hay stuff happens.
The Helm itself is awesome, in the original meaning of the word.
It is everything I was hoping for. Thought it was a bit heavy at first but after making a padded coif and getting it strapped it felt absolutely grate.

I can with no regret say that Sir Johannes is the man you want to deal with if you want quality costume work that is worth every penny.

And now the pictures

The Original that it was patterned after (with ought the embossing)
