| Remarks: |
-
The iron skull is formed from two sheets of metal, joined together at the crest by a strip of iron.
-
At the front of the helmet there are two 'eyes', recessed into the metal.
-
A series of holes around the base of the skull was for securing the leather lining of the helmet.
-
On the left cheek guard there is a single silver rivet with a hemispherical head. The right guard is similar but there is also a copper rivet there.
