This is either a very nice replica or a 1470s orso helmet.

Hi Thanks for your comment ! What You mean orso helmet ?

[BerberDagger]

Ah it is 2,6 kg And Size is 22x20x21

The weight seems right for 14th c. Can you possibly get a close up pic of the inside where one of the vervelles ( the little tubes that suspend the cord/wire that keeps the leather band to which the mail mantle is sewn in place ) is attached and perhaps at the peak of the helmet where the slight medial ridging is?

Hello berberdagger,

a beautiful helmet, thank you for showing. I think your example is authentic. Here are two pictures of my favourite actor with this helmet.

After some researching I would say, your helmet is an original bascinet, which has lost its aventail.

The actor wears a sallet or burgonet. The movie plays in the year 1560 and is very recommendable: "Aguirre, the Wrath of God".

If you look at the holes in the helmet under a high quality low power microscope(would recommend 10x) and determine if holds are made by punching or drilling. Punching indicates older, drilling indicates newer.
