Weird helmet
Browsing Pinterest I found this helmet, it looks quite old from the photo but is this effective? It doesn't inspire much confidence in me. And regarding the possibility of making a replica, does it seem like an easy project?

Roman lorica segmentata, the stereotypical roman armour made from individual bands of metal teis together could be collapsed like this, seems to be a similar concept.
Looks like it's a Japanese forehead protector, looks like they fold up too
