Hello,
I was hoping someone might know something about this helmet. Thank You in advance.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Looks like a persian helmet to me. Unfortunately I cann't tell you if it is an original one or a repro.
The experts on this forum can tell you more, probably asking for more detail pictures from the inside of the helmet.

Yes, Persian 19th century, typical qajar piece. Nice but probably made for those who travel for pleasure. That type of helmet is called Kulah Khud among collectors.

thanks for the replies. I had an antique appraiser tell me he thought it was about 500 years old but didnt tell me what it may be worth.

back to the helmet,

let's go for the truth, at least "my truth" ;)

I'm not an expert, just an "amateurr",
but if indeed provide detail pics from inside should be welcome,
but also one pic focused on the nasal attach, to exam the two (2) white spots, it's metal, alu ?
