Re: Northern European Helmet Zischagge need help
Hello Cerjak,
I think that this helmet is the real thing and a good example. It may have been painted up later in life for stage use or decoration. obviously it is hard to tell from the photos, but I always look at the screw thread on the nasal holder, the rivets and the rolled edges, just to be sure. The overlapping plated skull does not show on the inside, therefore it is possibly additional protection and may be adding to the weight, which is much more than average. I an going to suggest Polish for Siege use.
I am very new to armoury.com and just feeling my way.

Hi everybody,
I urgently need an opinion on this NORTHERN EUROPEAN HELMET ZISCHAGGE said to be from the 17 TH Century, as i don’t have any knowledge in this kind of helmets. I ‘m sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, they were taken with my cellphone. I will be very happy to have some opinions and to be informed in the case that this helmet has something suspicious, for example the Nasal protection or Ear plates ….
I hope I will have some advice about this helmet.
Regards
