Maximilian close helmetfor ID

[Marcus den toom]

Recently this close helmet of fluted maximilian type has entered my collection.
It is 32cm high (with lames), 20cm wide at the skull, 26cm from back to visor.
The neck opening is 15 by 16,5cm.
It can be opened by means of a push button (missing) just as the visor (see pictures.)

Can anyone tell me the age and any other relevant information this is my first helmet

nice one- piece skullconstruction ,good hammerwork visible from the inside, i suspect you have just entered the most difficult section of collecting arms and armor! best regards iskender

Marcus,
I think that the visor is wrong .
If you look at the slots for the eyes you will see that they are too high so would not allow a good vision.
Best

Thank you Nando, Iskender and Cerjak

The pictures are all taken slightly from above, had to do it on the table with the most light which was also the table with a lot of toys from my nephews around them the helmet itself is supported by a wooden building block in the pictures hahah.

It lines up perfecty though when it is in its correct angle (neckplates are now too verticaly placed on the pictures, making the chin face upwards as is the visor).

hello marcus , 10 minutes beforehand i would have posted the message that the helmet of yours would look normal without standing on the woodblock. greetings iskender ( now in cronstadt visiting the old fortifications there)
