I'm pretty sure that he means an iron helmet with decorative horns.

That would definitely make a lot more sense, but it's not clear what the base for the helmet would be even then. Assuming the base is DR 4 Plate, though, I still get that that would come to around $170 and 4.5-4.7 pounds (depending on treatment of the padding with respect to the nasal). If the decorative horns are treated as a plume/crest (LT.113), then we'd end up around $190, 5.5-5.7 pounds (So that, at least, covers his weight result, if not his cost result).

If he did the same CF mix-up with this helmet as he did with the large falchion, though, the cost ends up being a hair shy of $250 ($249.375), though. So perhaps that's what happened after all and explains both the cost and weight.

Edit: For specificity, here are my results for a Cheap "Less Light" Plate Bascinet (Base DR 4, Cheap DR 3), Padded (+1 DR), with Horns:

Cost (Padding is Affected by Nasal): $190.625
Cost (Padding is Unaffected by Nasal): $190.00

Weight (Padding is Affected by Nasal): 5.725 lbs
Weight (Padding is Unaffected by Nasal): 5.65 lbs.

From this, is looks like Stripe is going with the Unaffected interpretation, so $190, 5.65.

For which I'd add that rules can be found in Fantasy Tech 1. Both realistic and fantasy-tech rules, in fact.

It would be nearly impossible to make a bascinet out of a single horn anyway.

Spangenhelms are the default, so that doesn't seem like a factor.

I can't think of a real example of a horn helmet except the Mycenaean boars tusk helm.
