I just love those medieval helmets.
And it shows some evolution with our spike helmets, take the lobster tail for instance....

Good Gods that is outstanding. No way could most of us mere mortals collect these as they are painfully rare, and incredibly expensive. I have watched Plate Armour for years in European auctions, and that is the most interesting and unique close Helm I have ever seen in a private collection. Portuguese influence? Kris I am very happy for you.

Thank you all for your appreciation.
I am still researching what I have got, as it was sold for a 19 th century copy.
Which to me it is not, it seems older to me, not sure if it is 16 th...but time will tell....
No marks found up to now...
I'll keep you informed.
