An Italian visored close helmet for the Pisan Gioco del Ponte

Nando, actually Jean contacted me about both before buying and they both seem to be nice examples of interesting/hard to find types. The armet with its articulating neck in the manner of a casquetell burgonet and striking visor is something not often seen and the 17th century Italian closed burgonet is also a somewhat tougher to find variant of the burgonet family. Based on the pics he sent to me I believe he's done well with these two.
