Hi Dirk, not the helmet but the skull of the helmet is made out of two parts.
I have shown about 50 photos of in and outsides with all the weights of the individual parts, all specialists thought it to be a 19th century armour. They gave me several substantiations for this. Thomas del Mar pointed out to me that the skull of the helmet is made of two parts riveted together on the comb and not made like 16th century Maximilian helmets formed outof one piece of metal.it is a nice quality armour from the 19th century, unfortunately for me the price was what an original would do.
