I have this one and it's seems small, it make me wonder if it were made for a child or a small adult.
The inside dimensions are 8x7".
Thanks.

Kino, nice example and great photos as well.

I do not know if there is a difference in size between Philippine men during the period when these helmets were worn and modern Philippine men but I do visit the Philippines quite often and some Philippine men can be quite small. While it is possible, I just can not see these helmets being made for a child (who are even smaller).
