Avete, Comilitones: Regarding the LegionArmory helmet, I was mistaken. It is a Gallic G. You can find it at their alternate website for Soul of the Warrior,...
Hmm... really hard to tell from that one oddly-angled photo... Frankly, it looks exactly like a Deepeeka one. It's too bad they don't give you more photos....
Ave, Gaii Darii: Gratias multas for the info on the helmet. I will email them immediately and see what they say. I have $150 burning a hole in my tunica...
