Summary

Description
English: This fine helmet is probably the product of a Milanese workshop. The heavy one piece iron skull is large enough to accommodate the internal padding needed for the tilt. The roped comb provides a cushion against a blow or cut. The hinged visor is flanged to seat in the upper bevor which is notched to receive the visor lifting peg. The bevor is cut with nine breath slots on the right but smooth on the left side which is the lance impact side. The lower bevor (chin piece) has a pivoting hinged hasp which engages the swivel post lock on the upper bevor. A brass plume holder as the back provides a mount for a large crest of feathers which would have been worn on the tournament field. The original roped edge articulated neck plates remain.
