16th century burgonet with falling buffe visor

The Burgonet was popular throughout Europe, and could be found on the heads of both infantry and cavalry. The Burgonet not only was widespread geographically, but also widespread in the social hierarchy – many plain, utilitarian helms were made for soldiers, whilst elaborately crafted Burgonets were made for the aristocracy and royalty. Some were so embellished that they were effective only for ceremonial wear. The Burgonet could be found on the likes of Swiss Halberdiers, Hussar Cavalrymen, Lancers, Border Reivers and, in a modified form, on the Winged Hussars. This one is showing its age having surface rusty sections has the falling buff visor too, overall conditions quite good, large sized approx 64-66, looks authentic but selling as Victorian, offering free worldwide delivery, reference DBSS.
