MUST HAVE BELONGED TO THE KAISER OF THE PHILIPPINES.
 REMINDS ME OF THE SPIKES ON WW1 GERMAN HELMETS. SPIKES ON HEADGEAR ARE ALSO COMMON IN THAILAND, BURMA AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE REGION. VERY COOL!

This is a great example. Most of these seem to. E Tagalog and in museums. Yours is in great condition. I would only polish the silver (which is meant to be polished).
Only elite men important to the Spanish government had the privilege of wearing them. |
