Formed of a one-piece skull, a deep, pivoted visor and a laminated neck-defence. The skull has a broad, rounded crown, and extends downwards at the sides to just above the level of the shoulders where its edge has a plain, partial, inward turn. It has a broad, arched face-opening at the front, and an arched cut-out at the nape to receive the neck-defense. The base of the crown is encircled by nineteen lining-rivets, of which the central one at the front is missing. The rear eight, lacking their internal washers, are round-headed, while the remainder, which sit beneath the visor, are externally flush. A pair of lace-holes at the apex of the skull, two pairs at its rear, and a further pair at either side of the neck served to secure the lining. Those at either side of the neck are now filled by later round-headed rivets. At the bottom left corner of the face-opening is riveted a small, circular stud to engage a corresponding hole in the left of the visor. The visor is attached to the skull by a pair of riveted pivots with low, slightly rounded, radially-fluted heads and octagonal internal washers. The visor has short arms shaped around the pivots, a stepped, centrally-divided vision-slit, and is strongly embossed over the point of the chin where it is pierced with eight small ventilation-holes arranged as a triangular group of three at either side and a vertically aligned pair at the centre. It is embossed a short distance below the vision-slit with a pronounced, transverse ridge. The concave space between this ridge and the step of the vision-slit is pierced with six vertical ventilation-slots. The lower edge of the visor has a plain, partial inward turn, matching and continuing that of the skull. The same is true of the main edge of the neck-defence which is formed of four downward-overlapping lames connected to one another and the skull, respectively, by a round-headed rivet and internal washer at either side. The last lame is longer than the rest and has a rounded end.

The skull has been repaired with ten riveted and welded internal patches. The helmet is bright with overall pitting. This type of sallet evolved into the close helmet which was distinguished from the former by its possession of a separate bevor attached to the skull by the same pivots as the visor. reference term-106256 adlib-term-106256 1bd8ad44-09c2-3c55-825a-635e463bb56b 16th Century, Early reference term-107815 adlib-term-107815 f41b2595-df3f-3974-ab1f-6a950ef5d12d literal Germany Germany country Germany reference term-40136 adlib-term-40136 28e1cd6e-7c25-339f-8cd2-2aaae536a0c5 steel Depth cm 25 Height cm 27.2 Weight kg 1.575 Width cm 22.2 reference term-77995 adlib-term-77995 dfb90323-7323-38e1-83dd-21bd8c751649 sallet history note Mr James Stewart Henderson of 'Abbotsford', Downs Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Cf. According to statements of the contemporary dealer, Samuel Luke Pratt of Bond Street, London (cited in Catalogue of ...Armour and Weapons formed by...Baron Zouche of Haryngworth, Sotheby's, London, 10 & 11 November, 1920, p. ii) a large part of the armoury at Istanbul was brought to England, via Italy, about 1840. The condition of the present helmet would be compatible with its derivation from that source. p. ii reference publication-1819 adlib-publication-1819 bffde3c6-a1f6-3a11-9bf1-2d984805b327 Catalogue of ...Armour and Weapons formed by...Baron Zouche of Haryngworth Cf.
