I havent heard of any problems in craftsmanship from Therion Arms. Doesnt mean they dont exist, just that I havent heard of any. The small gaps should be below the chin, and a gorget should cover the neck. The only way I can for see a problem is if your chin is below the line of the gaps, but as I said before we can always add a small piece of metal to cover the gap. I will say that with this type of helm you do need a good gorget. Even Drake wears a good gorget with his.

My concern is the odd gaps between the face plate and the rest of the helm, on the left and right.  You might be able to hang chainmaille in such a way to cover those areas.  Also, with the padding in place, we cannot see the welds and know if they are adequate.
