Beautiful Philippine Shield

There's not a lot I can tell you about the helmet...it's a spanish style morion that I picked up at an antique shop several years ago, along with a breast plate.
The owner knew nothing about their origin and I even less, and even though it was before the current SCA craze, I still think they are reproductions......about 16 ga. steel with a few years accumulation of rust and patina.
My guess is that they are some of the Toledo reproductions from the early to mid 20th century.
