My new addition.
In A. Van Z's book, page 51, he states that it's of European origin and made of brass. My example seems to be made of copper with brass trimmings. Were these made in Europe or is this a copy of Euro helmets. The previous owner
obtained it 25 yrs., ago with a Moro horn armor. Was this helmet procured by a Moro thru a trade with someone from Sulawesi or did someone from Sulawesi get the armor from a Moro. Did not get the armor, long gone.

Your thoughts?
