Morion helmet 16th

Always difficult to determine the exact country, it is often said that this model was made in northern Italy with possible exports. But other countries have also been able to manufacture it. There is no blacksmith or city mark. Yes with a plume holder, there too difficult to say if it is for an officer, a guard, or just a means of recognition with colored feathers on the battlefield. Because sometimes the enemy opposite could wear the morion too. If I'm not mistaken, the uniforms were not yet in place. The plume could be a distinctive sign.
