<p>[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 4349056, member: 16265"]I do agree that it can't be that old. I also think that "Mat" is probably spot on with "Hercules fighting Cerberus and the Nemea lion". I just don’t know where it came from? I can’t find anything like it on the internet anywhere? It is a casting, but is it someone’s idea of a fantasy helmet or a copy of an existing one? Clearly it was not mass produced or I would be able to find photos of another one. No marking or foundry stamps? I am also sure I have seen this exact scene before somewhere else. I am truly puzzled on its origin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
