Late 16 th century helmet for comment

Hello everybody,

I would like to open a discussion about this helmet who has some interesting combination of elements that I still have never seen in other helmets .
This Helmet has an articulating neck lame attached on the skull made in one piece and one single piece visor in the manner of an armet.
May be someone already seen something similar and could post here the pictures from an helmet with same way of construction.
Also I would like to learn more about his origine .
Any comment on it will be welcome.

16th or early 17th c. closed Burgonet with 19th century additional visor after removal of the peak?

The whole helmet looks very post whatever era its trying to be. Looks like its a 19th cent item made for collectors.

Pics of the inside ofthe skull and cheeks would be helpful.

Hi Mark

From the same collection I bought in the same time this other helmet with alteration made for the gioco del ponte and my guess was that this helmet could be also with alteration specially made for the gioco delponte

Hi mark

I own several helmets from this period and this helmet whether built from some older parts reused( who is not uncommon in period armour) seems to me to be original based on the construction details also in hand this one seems for me legitimate.
