Looking for pictures of as many helms as possible.

My lady is considering fighting (SCA), so I am trying to gather information for her. I have shown her the Greathelms, Basinets, Spagens and the Vendel helms. So far, she likes Valsgärde 5 and the Ulltuna Helm.
Although she appreciates the work and likes the look of many kits in the 15th and 16th centuries, she would not wear one. I am looking for anything in the post Roman to pre-15th century range. Preferably with historical accuracy (though I know certain leniencies must be given for some helms.)
ANY assistance with finding some other helms types would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

There are a handful of earlier helms in the Waffensammlung, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

Here are some different ones... later period than what you are looking at, though:

Hey Wulfe!
If she decides on a Valsgarde helm, I would love to see some construction details. It's the one type of helm my brother wants to fight with too.

Some of the meager stuff I have uncovered during late nights when I SHOULD be doing homework.
Hope it helps!

Of course, you could go with the Italo-Norman look, circa 1160...
The helm is based off a wall painting in an Italo-Norman church, entitled "The Murder of Thomas Becket", and depicts the knights who killed Becket wearing both this style of helmet, as well as a rounded topped version.
It was built by Master Waldryk, and is currently owned by Tarquin Bjornsen. You could have Cet from Vulcan's Forge make you a stainless helm bowl in advance, and build the rest of the helm up from there. With a light maille drape in back, and slats included, it'd be a very serviceable helm.
