I'm blown away at how decent this looks. I can only assume it's cheaply made, but at $19 is it a good deal?

Well it aint bad, but for $100 I got a chain mail shirt (sleeveless) and a shoulder doublet (Roman style) that will fit 90% of the folks on this board if your looking and wanna pay shipping... 
...plus a basic camail for the Crusades look...

No, something else led me to the Bud K site. And when I stumbled on that hood for that price I was kinda shocked.

Good price perhaps...
But I wouldn't count on it in combat however.

That is a pretty good price. It is called a Coif not a hood though.
Chances are it is made from 16ga galvanized butted rings. It should work fine for costume armour but I would not expect it to last very long in any combat situation.
so, if you are looking for something to wear around, yeah that should be fine. Although I would put it in a vinegar soak to strip the zinc off it.
