Hi,

the fact that this helmet is published by one of the most leading specialists of Italian armor makes the credibility of the hypothesis that this helmet is a bucket or other household item, suggested by some forum members, a lot less credible.

However, experts also make mistakes but that is probably not the case here.
Iam sorry and realize it's hard to abandon a hypothesis, how convincing the evidence is.


kind regards,
