So when I found my big box of plastic I also found some old tatty drawings that must be at least 25 years old…

This was from when I was in the Ermine street Guard I think, or possibly when I was doing the education pack for Corstopitum Roman fort.

That is me in said group and at said fort… this was my first day at a re-enactment event and the following was my last…

That is a cracking moustache! Love the drawings too, it’s really fun to find stuff like this digging through old boxes.

Those are nice drawings for sure! As a Roman History fan, I’d say you couldn’t have chosen a better topic too!

I don’t know too much about armor, but that’s one of my favorite helms. Do you still have it?

Awesome! Is that the actual term for it, “bucket helm”? If so, I’m going to try and remember it!

I just wrote a whole essay and typically it disappeared. But in short, yes, other names are pot helm and great helm.

Sorry man. Oh yea, I’ve heard “great helm” used quite a bit. I really should pick up some good historical books on arms and armor. I was eyeing some on Osprey Publishing one day,
but couldn’t make up my mind.
