I just found out, Iain, that you were not referring to me. Apparently there is a lesson in humility here, but it is not for you. I apologize for my eagerness.

your right, Gregoire. I was more referring to the "look" of the coif coming all the way up as opposed to the helm itself. (smile) sorry, I sould have been more specific in my question.

This is a very interesting image.. This is from Shamrock armory. is this an SCA-ism, or is there documentation for a chain coif coming up that far on the face?

Friends. I seem to recall some evidence of kettlehelms being used with "corrizina" style coats of plate. Does this ring a bell for anybody, or am I just getting cross wired?
