Description
The Imperial Galic “B” made by Deepeeka is an accurate replica ornate based off historical research and authentic in its design. The Italic B is perhaps the archetypical early Italic helmet, with a rounded bowl, brow reinforcement or “peak,” and narrow neck guard with a single embossed step. Robinson regarded it as a development of the brass Italic A, which sported an embossed “faux visor” similar to that seen in artistic and sculptural depictions of the Attic helmet. Made of iron with brass trim, the Italic B’s ear openings are protected by a turned-out flange, rather than the separate ear guards found on later models. The best surviving example is in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. This Roman Italic ??B?? Helmet is constructed from 18 gauge steel with brass accents. The interior of the helm is blackened and unlined; included with the helmet is a separate padded cotton arming cap. The top of the helm is slotted to allow for the insertion of a crest holder (not included).
The hinged cheekplates are fitted with two small rings which can be used to tie a chin strap onto (chin strap not included).
