Description:

An English Civil War era Dutch ‘lobster pot’ helmet, mid 17th century. One piece steel construction to the skull piece, with 6 raised ribs converging to a suspension ring at the top of the crown. Articulated lobster tail style neck guard, with 4 piece construction. Fixed peak with crimped turned over edge, secured to the skull by 4 rivets. Sliding nasal guard with flared finial, which is lockable in place by a thumbscrew. Ear guards with pierced detail, held in place by leather straps, which appear to be original to the era and helmet. Letter R armourers mark to the peak, plus another letter S mark to the finial of the nasal guard. The inside of the lobster tail neck guard is marked XVII to each articulated section, implying that they were forged specifically to match together. Condition: very good example of its type. Good overall colour and patination to the metal. Some denting to the skull, plus minor contact marks here and there. Darkened patina to the inside, with very minor old surface corrosion. All of the rivets are in place, but there is some movement in a few of them (this does not affect the construction or integrity of the helmet).

Realised Price: £3000
