I'm not usre where/if I have the image stored, but I know I saw a margin illumination of two men sparring (wielding clubs, no armor) using center grip heaters. I believe it was a 14th century manuscript. I'll go looking and see what I can find.

It's a really great looking helm and surprisingly lightweight for being a mild face helm with locking cheeks and a full back plate. Fant...
