I share your dating of around 1300!

Thanks for the additional scans.

Best,

Hmm, i don't understand why everyone is so exicted about the new pictures...

The picture cornelistomp posted is not that of another specimen but (as he wrote himself) of the very same helmet before restoration.

Best Regards,
Thilo

That says it all, Thilo,

I seemingly cannot read properly.

So back to square one: Cesare's helmet to me remains as doubtful as always.

Thanks for enlightening us,
and best,
Michael
