A not too terrible repro type Spagenhelm can be found
www.medievalarms.co.uk
This is probaably the same as other repros posted, but I't thought I would give it a try.

Have you seen these face masks? Very haunting.

Hi
It was not unusual for Roman Cavarly units to wear these maskx, esociallly on parade, but Hugh would know more.
I suspect their use in combat may have been limited.
I will research it some.
The question is, I suppsoe, were the face masks "generic" of made individually??
Hope to see you soon.
John
