I look at these helmets and the neck guards just look wrong, very wrong. But it's very common to see the lamellae laced together like this. Is there some mis-laced museum example that these copy?

HERE IS A PICTURE OF A REPLICA BRONZE HELMET MADE IN CHINA. THEY ARE HEAVLY PATINATED AND SORT OF COOL IF YOU CAN GET ONE AT A FAIR PRICE. UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE OFTEN SOLD AS ORIGINALS AND A HIGH PRICE IS ASKED. SO AS USUAL WITH ALL BRONZE WEAPONS BUYER BEWARE AS THESE FAKES CAN BE VERY GOOD.

This has been a very useful thread. Thanks. I have been tempted by these helmets - which seem to have burst rather suddenly on the market. The collectors' community needs this kind of candid discussion.
