Welcome!
Albion has a collection of good Migration Helms at a decent price:

Is this for SCA or Living History?

Although Albion has a good variety, I believe they have very few helmets left that aren't size "large", and have slowed shipment on a lot of their Indian products... So, you may not be able to get one of their migration helmets in the proper size!

Since he list Meridies, an SCA Kingdom, as his location I am betting SCA. Try GAA and see what he has in stock,
www.gaa-armouries.com ,as he is located in Meridies. Other than that just look around at several merchants then ask questions here before you order. If someone has a good or bad reputation then someone here will let you know

Sorry I wasn't more specific. It's for SCA use.

Check out White Mountain Armoury. Adam does amazing work, he made me this hat based on the Vendel XIV helmet...

Sorry I don't have a good side on pic, but its a slat back. The nasal came from Raymond's Quite Press.

I cannot recommend White Mountain Armory enough.
Take a look at:
http://www.whitemountainarmoury.com/wmahelms.htm
There are several that would fit the bill.

This should be on the armor page, not weapons and combat.

Why does this remind me of a monkey in a cage?

Have you thought about talking to Sir Shaltar or one od his squires. They all make fantastic helms and live right in your group. White Mountian makes great stuff.
