Doesnt the fact that Elfhelm has an Elf Helm meat that at some point there was likey contact between the elves and Rohan. Elfhelm woud have had to get the helmet from somewhere, and if it wasn't the result of direct contact (i.e. Elfhelm recieving it personally from the elves) I would at least seem to be evidece of someone say an ancestor of Elfhelm recieving it. there is of couse that chance that the Helm came from some battlefield or was a war trophy but this doesn't really feel right.

Dragon treasure, maybe? The horn given to Merry by Éowyn came from the hoard of the dragon Scatha, and who knows what all he had acquired over the years.
