Rare 17th C. Italian or Spanish Morion Cabasette Helmet - Rare 17th C. Italian or Spanish Morion Cabasette Helmet with Makers Mark. A very strong and heavy early example of the Morion Battle helmet, wrought of heavy gauge steel with rolled borders and iron rivets holding remains of original lining, each rivet decorated with a iron or steel flower shaped washer. The back of the flat rim is struck with well preserved makers mark. Good early piece, definitely built for most efficient battle action of the 1600s era.
