Restoration period.
Very good condition, the brass parts retained all their gilding, superb helmet, slight dent on the right side, worn inner lining, two missing wolf teeth. The upper part of the inner lining, originally made of silk, is missing.
NOTE:
This helmet has a simplified crest decoration, its convex upper part is steeper than usual, which gives it a more compact shape typical of provincial helmets.
