Close helmet - what's the origin / type
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,

Please find attached close helmet. What I found a little bit not typical is that visor part is not opened in separation to main front part. Was that common? or was that appearing in that type of helmets?

Any information about origin more than welcome.

Hello Qusko , this is 100% sure a victorian copy of a close helmet and the shape and construction is not very good either its different from original historical helmets.
kind regards
Ulfberth
