ROMAN MURMILLO GLADIATOR HELMET
REQUESTED MODIFICATIONS

The buyer of this helmet wanted to make it look more like the original, so after some discussion and planning, we both did some modifications.  I built a removable crest extension to make it closer to the size of the original.  It is attached with knurled brass screws.  Like the original, it is essentially hollow, and I made 2 wooden inserts that fit snugly into the cavity.  I also added brass plume holders to the sides of the skull.  

When the client received the helmet, he did a beautiful job of adding colored ostrich plumes to one of the wooden inserts (keeping one in reserve) and the plume tubes.  The result was quite lavish!
