Stuka f Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I just love these! It was found by a fellow collector ,at 11 am, on a small fleemarket on a rainy day near Paris, a few weeks ago. Went to fetch it yesterday.
TacHel Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Nice. But didn't most European countries have darn near exactly that model helmet at some time or another?
Stuka f Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Thank you. Yes they did, ....with small differences. For one, here you got a rather small crest; ...Flemish are humble.... ;-)

Stuka f Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 There was a breast plate along with the helmet, and I took it as well. At first I tought they belonged together, but then having them in hand, I noticed a different patina, so that made me doubt that bought started they carriere together. But now after some research my outcome is that they are of different origine, but might have served together... To me the breast plate is British civil war.
