ROA helmet with black cross + polished armour – BI/IMCF authenticity question
Hi everyone,
I'm currently putting together my kit and I need some advice before my helmet is finished.
I've ordered a Romance of Alexander (ROA) helmet with the black cross but the rest of my armour is polished steel, not blackened.
My question is: Would this combination pass BI/IMCF authenticity checks, or would the black-cross ROA helmet require the rest of the armour to be blackened as well?
I still have time to change my order if necessary, so I'd rather sort this out now than end up with a helmet that won't pass authenticity.
I even contacted the BI but I didnt get a response, so i tried asking other people and i got different answers.
Has anyone competed with a similar setup, or does anyone know how BI/IMCF authenticity judges usually interpret this?
Thanks a lot!
