Good evening everybody
I do not consider myself an expert, but the Indo-Persian helmets (Kulah Khud) I have long analyzed for acquiring one "in fine" (Qajar) ![]() I noticed no less than 3 points, to conclude that it is a Indian helmet from 20th century, as well as AJ1356 had mentioned - all the decor is, floral and animal, not a single mention in Arabic, no talismanic or religious evocations, so it wasn't for a Muslim - the sliding nose guard, does not have a system for adjusting position, no screw as well as, all protects the sliding nose guard, are provided, I mean for the Persian helmets - I have a serious doubt about a "broken spike", it's "IMPOSSIBLE", without to create a damage to the top bulb , to broke the spike, this bulb is typically Indian, not at all Persian might be was a system to remove it for such circumstances ? or the spike attach system was very weak ? there is something very strange anyway ... for comparison, here are some pictures, of a Qajar helmet from 18th/19th century easy to obtain more pics, this helmet it's mine ![]() à + Dom |
