No breathing holes.

No lining rivets.
CORNELIS:as is the case with a lot of early medieval helmets, the padding was on the head of the wearer!


No sufficing thickness of iron.
CORNELIS:I need the thickness and differences in thickness for saying something meaningful.
the total weight will also help.
cesare can-maybe post something about this.



NO HELMET. CORNELIS:you're right it is not a helmet, but a 13 th century hat if I may judge



Cornelis, instead of creating new theories, could you please answer my queries step by step? CORNELIS: of course

Best,
Michael

Hi Michael,

it is not a new theory, but the sizes seem to me more than acceptable for a kettle hat. Definitely not too large so that the eyes are closed, you can not compare this course with a great helmet because a much larger diameter in its center.
If I find some time I will try to make a paper dummy based on the specified dimensions.



Best regards
