But it is "An exact copy from the find at sutton hoo england!" That is the greatest piece i have ever seen short of the original. [img]http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Somebody just trying to make a buck i guess... hopefully noone buys the junk.

BTW, I absolutly love the brass lips. I think i might put some on my klapvisor bascinet.

I have to get a new dictionary, they seem to have changed the definition of "exact" and I didn't notice.

Here's a picture of the iron mask found at Sutton Hoo. The accompanying website is pretty nice as well.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The etching is different and the mouth is a liitle different, I did not detect these differences in the picture I was comparing it to. In the future I will have to word it as a near reproduction of the original

thanks

I rather like this one

the fact that we now know exactly what type of helmet a mythical charater wore is astounding.

I'll bet Aurther would be pissed to know that he had a drawer pull knob screwed to the top of his hat.
