Hi Berber Dagger,

Please do understand that definite responses based just on the grounds of one single close-up are not exactly valuable.

Tentatively I should dare say though that this does not look anywhere near any maker's mark I've ever come across. Possibly an iventory stamp, if ever.

Best,
Michael

Hi Matchlock,

I can ask tomorrow to the seller if agree with post of entiere item ... but the mark is clear so if known I think it can be recognize olso with a photo like this ...

I hope tomorrow to post the entiere helmet....

becouse you think an inventory mark ? I see a similar mark with WD and RC in horseman helmets from 1600 but never WR.

REGARDS

Sorry but this was my one and only guess.

Let's hope some armor experts will produce more substantial replies.

Best,
