Anyone have a suggestion that doesn't break the bank?

Not sure what break the bank means for you, but this would seem to fit the bill:

Alternately, you could start with a basic spangenhelm (conical if you can find it) and add a neck drape.

Interesting resource

Mongolainish... Needs a drape though.

That would totally work with a drape! Or even a plate folds down the back or lamellar, either steel or leather. Your work is excellent, sir!

We make them as well. I have one in stock now for a large grape.

Accdntprone, how much would you want for a helm like that? I have price quotes from everyone else.

accdntprone · Post by **accdntprone** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 10:22 am

That one is $250. (The little visor thing is a pain

)

Alright, thanks all. I've forwarded all the info to the guy, see what he says. This was a lot less painful than looking for a Japanese helm.

Yeah, I have got to find a pattern I like for those, they cost a LOT!
