<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3911922, member: 44316"]The illustration on the left has an awfully tall helmet. I reckon it goes 5 inches or more above the top of the head. That would make a bigger target, and quite a bit of leverage if, say, a blow was struck to it sideways. Is the illustration mistaken, or is there some reason to have such a tall helmet?
