After some backstage combined research with a knowledged member, a rather plausible identification for this cabasset is that it is Italian, most possibly from the Papal Armory, the mark being that of the Barberini family arsenal, where a more clear example in another cabasset reveals the three bees symbol of their coat of arms. Its date remaining the same 1580-1600.
