Remarks

Item details
Remarks:
  • A tall, hemispherical helmet bowl with a conical knob and a horizontal neck guard.
  • The cheek guard hinge plates are still attached by means of two hemispherical rivets on each side (although the guards themselves are missing).
  • The helmet originally had a horizontal brow protector that was riveted at the sides and had a tab in front that passed through a slot in the helmet. Only corrosion traces remain of this now.
