My first Morion. I was on another business trip and I managed to add a visit to Lucerne when Galerie Fischer was holding a sale. It is trouble to arrange a good way to visit both the viewing times and the sale, and then to find a way to actually take pieces away with you. This often requires several days, and coordination with the auction house to get payment cleared.
German Morion circa 1600
Black and white. Typical of the Munich town guard. 2 piece bowl with a high comb. Brim with prominent upturned points at the front and back. Each side embossed with a large fleur-de-lys. Provenance: Ackermann Collection, Luzerne.
