Closed Burgonet, help identify, please :)
Hi there,
I am considering this Closed Burgonet, probably Flemish/French, probably first half of 17th century? The "skull" is from one piece. Does anyone have any info about those? I am by no means an expert on the subject. - Simon

Yes , Im afraid that's the problem. Here is another one. The ingenious craftsmen of Roorkee have recently started making copies of both replicas and fakes manufactured in Eastern Europe. Image 2 is a replica made in India. Image 3 is an Eastern European fake . The last one is one is made in India. Impossible to say whether the image is of the copy or the original. |

This is what I get for once of them:
Made in India. Here is a review: "Not great quality, sharp edges, rivet broke holding one of the leather straps requiring me to have to weld it to fix it, there’s nothing to hold the shoulder pauldrons on, so had to modify a belt to use for that purpose. Looks ok, but as previously stated my others, it is literally shoe laces that are used, and the colour is different to those shown in the pictures. It’s not terrible for the price, but expected certain things to be better even for this price." Last edited by fernando; 24th April 2022 at 04:26 PM. |
