This morion was excavated on St. Augustine Florida's Anastasia Island near the Alligator Farm in the early 1960's. The man who found this it patched the holes and painted it, then wore it for years in the St. Augustine Easter Parade. When my father, F.E. (Jack) Williams, spotted it he offered to purchase it, then did his best to return the helmet to its as found condition.
