細節
A Fine German Close-Helmet For The Italian Tilt (Welschgestech)
Late 16th Century, probably by Anton Peffenhauser of Augsburg
Of bright steel, with heavy one-piece skull with keel-shaped roped comb, pierced with holes filled with brass rosette-shaped washers for lining points, tubular plume-holder etched with conventional foliage, visor and upper- and lower-bevors pivoted at the same points and secured to each other by press-button catches and, in the case of the visor, by a lever catch with a thong release (thong missing), the prow-shaped visor with single vision slit and heavy riveted brow-reinforce, upper-bevor overlapping it and with ventilation trap on the right, secured by a catch with a thong release (thong replaced), and a screw for the attachment of a grandguard, lower-bevor shaped to the chin, the lower edge at front and rear with a hollow roped turn bordered by lining-rivets, at the rear with domed brass heads, and at the front flush with the surface, and original riveted lining-straps, adjustable cross-straps, and quilted textile lining (slight damage) for the lower bevor, painted inside in white with an old inventory number '1129'
11in. (27.9cm.) high
Anton Peffenhauser (d. 1603) was probably the most important Augsburg armourer of the second half of the 16th century. The general style of this helmet, including that of the plume-holder, resembles that of helmets found on armours bearing his mark
