A Luzon Pickelhaube

A wonderful addition to your collection and in such great condition!! Will you be polishing the wood and silver up a bit?

Best,
Robert

Thanks guys.

I will not be touching the patina in anyway.

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.

What a beautiful hat. Is it made from a gourd or a hollowed out wood?
The silver spike is amazing.
Congrats!
