    Default Hand made by Matt Lukes. Centurion Helmet.

    Hi just thought i would post this bit of work made by Matt Lukes from Canada.
    I ordered it in September 2013... it took two year (down side) as he had a full order book. But he is a stickler for detail and the original that the helmet is based on is attached images. The crest and mount are purely a guesstimate. There are few examples anywhere of centurion helmets, mine is a copy of one of those examples. Hope you like it. many have said i am mad or odd for paying 1200 CAD for this work, but i dont care, ha.

    PS its based on a helmet found on the Thames in England. Centurio Weisenau Finished.

    @ Visarion thanks mate, my Cohorts are ready....
