Comments
It's good to see a detailed article on this small, but historically significant, item. I have the following comments:
 * "They are made of iron; the smaller of the fragments terminates in an animal head, made of bronze." - I think this would work better as two sentences, as the topics are different.
 * I think there's some logic in using the semicolon, since both clauses deal with the material (iron, bronze) of the fragments. The second clause thus partly serves to qualify the first, since not all of the fragments are indeed made of iron.


 * "the eyebrow was reconserved" - I'm not sure what this means. Was it restored in some way, or was it reviewed and its collection records improved?
 * My understanding is that it was conserved (perhaps cleaned) again, although Arwidsson doesn't say when the first time was. Reworded to "further conserved", with the link for clarity.


 * The sentence beginning with 'The Broe helmet—also from Gotland' is rather long.
 * Split into two.


 * "from the island" - it's not clear what island is being referred to here. Should this be "from the island of Lokrume"?
 * Clarified ("from Gotland"). Lokrume isn't an island itself, but is part of the island of Gotland.


 * Do we know why decorated helmet eyebrows have repeatedly been discovered without the rest of their helmet? Presumably they were detached at some point to be used for other purpose?
 * Added two sentences at the end of "Typology" that discuss this.


 * Do we know if this item has ever been placed on display at the Swedish History Museum or elsewhere?
 * That's a good question. It's possible it's been placed on display, or included as part of an exhibition, although I haven't seen any suggestion that it has.
 * Fair enough. Some museums identify this for items in their collection, but when they don't it's not possible to check this, especially for relatively obscure items like this. Nick-D (talk) 09:55, 4 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "Bild 330267" is listed in the bibliography, but doesn't seem to have been used as a source.
 * It's reference #2, although I had the wrong link; it's now fixed.


 * As the key sources are offline and/or in Swedish, I've AGF that they support the cited text and there aren't copyright violations. They are all clearly reliable sources, and the text doesn't read like a copyright violation (I note that the same conclusions were reached in the DYK nomination). The only spot check I was able to do (via Google Translate) is for reference 20, which seemed fine.
 * Thanks very much for the review, . Responses above. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Those changes look good, and I'm pleased to pass the GA nomination. Nick-D (talk) 09:55, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
