I recently purchased this helmet and I must say, I was fairly impressed with the overall usage of this. I had been expecting a helmet that could be easily dented or scratched, but I was wrong (we beat it with a hammer, nothing). I did however notice some fairly poor bronze smithing in that the cross in the center shows either poor smithing with bronze, or extremely poor coating in the bronze dipping due to obvious overlapping of the bronze, and scratches in the coat. The helmet itself is beautiful, they do ship it in a thick coating of oil to prevent rusting, but some spots on my helmet were missed (under the cross) and some rust did develope in those areas.
