Condition Report

The helmets are most likely from the end of the 19th century both have planished domes and have apparent signs of age.

The more elaborately decorated of the two is missing a little thumb screw that adjusted the nose guard and the spike has been glued back into position with what looks like epoxy resin.

The other helmet is intact with a screw-off diamond section spike.
