The reason of cut-price is irregular blueing on the comb and 2 scratches on the side of the helmet.. Also it was manufactured by our young armorier, it is his first sallet, so, please, do not judge very strictly))))

I'm no experst and I mean no offense, but your mongol helmet doesnt look right to me. I've never seen an example of lamellar covering the face like that.Also the dome looks wrong, and the nasal as well. Again, I'm not expert per se, but I look at a lot of pictures of this stuff and I've not seen precedent for these. Can you show me where you based this off of please? I'd like to see.

I'll have to look, but I have seen that Mongolian helm. The Mongol was riding, with that helm, matching plates on his armor and holding a mace. It was a Middle Eastern painting, so he was chasing down some poor Caliph. I always thought it looked cool.
