Morion 1600
German. Two piece skull. Large amount of old and possibly original black or blue finish remains. Medium comb rising straight up. Top of comb joined with one side rolled over the other. Just below the seam each side with a narrow recessed groove. This helps to hide the overlapping edge and make the two sides look similar. Brim drawn out to points front and back. One side overlapping the other - the edge of the outer ending at the crease. The seam riveted. Small dents. Very nicely constructed for a munition piece. Seam very clean, surface nice and even. This helmet is constructed like the more common "Munich Town Guard" black and white morions, but this one is all black and the details are more nicely executed than most of the black and white examples. This much original finish is uncommon.
