The Gladiator Thraex Helmet is constructed from 18 gauge brass; the interior of the helm is blackened and unlined. Included with the helmet is a padded cotton arming cap. The two part faceplate is fitted onto the helm with four pins, allowing for the faceplate to be removed if needed. The faceplate itself is a two part design that is secured at its bottom with a swivel key pin. The ocular grill plates can also be removed by removing their pins.
