The helmet didn't fall through any regulatory net?!!!

It didn't fall under the Treasure Act, so didn't need to be reported, so first was hurriedly sent to London and "restored" to increase saleability, badly, thus destroying scientific evidence. Fall through a loophole it certainly did.

Incidentally, DID it come from Crosby Garrett at all? There is doubt. Search Crosby Garrett on Looting Matters. https://lootingmatters.blogspot.com

See this incidentally https://lootingmatters.blogspot.com/2014/02/legal-fibbery-and-so-called-crosby.html
