Hi Ron,

I called it a morion because this is the apt German word and, in the last years, also seems have been preferred by English sales houses, whereas burgonet is more confined to what we call a Sturmhaube.

Sorry, I forgot to add that it should be closely dated aroud 1580, in spite of the fact that the patterns of the etching are of course older.

Best,
Michael
