Hi Ahriman, welcome back!
 Nice work on that vambrace. Helmets of the type you described were used in India from the 16th-19th century (and probably a lot earlier). Here's one from the Royal Armouries in Leeds:  Another one from the Royal armouries:  This one is from "Hindu Arms and Ritual" by Robert Elgood: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...6th-17thC3.jpg You seem to be going for a very Indian look at the moment. Other helmets of the same type from the Royal Armouries: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...ate_17th_c.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...ard_17th_c.jpg Oh yes, I recently found this picture of a 15th century Mamluk Krug, look familiar?  http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...amlukKrug1.jpg |
