Item Details
Description
A German Black and White Comb Morian Helmet with Ear Flaps
A late 16th/early 17th century German black and white high comb morion helmet, possibly for the Munich Town Guard. Helmet is of two-piece construction, with flanged and peaked brim. Exterior of helmet appears to have original black paint finish, with polished and embossed fleur-de-lis on both sides. Item features a plume socket to front and 12 rivets with brass rosette washers. Item also has riveted ear flaps still with interior leather, a rarity among most helmets of the period. Does not appear to have any visible armorer's marks.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
Condition
About good. Finish shows scattered pitting, losses, and light oxidation overall. Rolled edges of brim, comb, and ear flaps show cracking and denting. Leather connecting ear flaps to helmet is delicate, with right side ear flap partially torn, most likely due to age and handling.
