Hello,
I was hoping someone might know something about this helmet. Thank You in advance.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Looks like a persian helmet to me. Unfortunately I cann't tell you if it is an original one or a repro.
The experts on this forum can tell you more, probably asking for more detail pictures from the inside of the helmet.

Yes, Persian 19th century, typical qajar piece. Nice but probably made for those who travel for pleasure. That type of helmet is called Kulah Khud among collectors.

thanks for the replies. I had an antique appraiser tell me he thought it was about 500 years old but didnt tell me what it may be worth.

one or two zero too much

back to the helmet,
what you should like to read; truth or tale ??
let's go for the truth, at least "my truth"

some datas to help you to locate in space your helmet ... "IF" Qajar

the Qajar dynasties;
from Agha Mohammad Khan 1794 - 1797 to Ahmed Shah 1909 - 1925, period of a maximum of 131 years ....

also, some pic's about one "Kulah Khud Qajar" with me, to establish a base of comparaison

I'm not an expert, just an "amateurr",
but if indeed provide detail pics from inside should be welcome,
but also one pic focused on the nasal attach, to exam the two (2) white spots, it's metal, alu ?
