Hi Gents.
I just won a bid on this Terrible preserved helmet. I wanted to "build" a pickelhaube as money is short, bit by bit. So it seemed like a good opportunity. Maybe I totally missed the shot, but anyway. Worthed the try.
Seller only mentioned this is an "European Cavalry Leather Helmet". The gentleman is in Portugal, but I'm not sure this could be indeed a portuguese helmet.
It's the first time I see this kind of triangular/pointy front visor.
I need you help identifying the style/period, so I can follow up getting a proper spike and fittings.
Any ideas? Comments? I know it looks bad, don't kill me. I promise I didnt pay much, so I get what I paid I guess.
Kind regards, and have all a wonderful day.
