well I just did a quick google search but in reading your links I found this:

"Archaeological finds, all but one of which date from the ninth century B.C. to about the seventh century C.E., back them up on the horn thing, but only to a degree. The ancients implied that such helmets were used in battle, but a ceremonial use is more likely. The finds consist mostly of images from rock carvings, horn carvings, coins, engraved metal objects, etc. A few actual horned helmets have been found; most are Germanic helmets from Denmark, but one is a Celtic model dredged from the Thames. None of these ceremonial horned helmets match the stereotypical image of a metal helmet with ox horns attached. For example, two Bronze Age horned helmets unearthed at Viksø, Denmark sport long twisting horns made of metal."

I would admit that it wouldnt be good in battle but it would be good in intimidation of others. It does make sence that it would be used in ceremonial uses

I think it is a waste of money, but you buy what ya like.

i'm considering buying one of those ww2 swiss army helmets. They look pretty cool and i see them on e-bay for 20 bucks.
