Secondo gli esperti italiani è un particolare cappello usato dalla fanteria durante gli assedi. Infatti la sua forma non è propriamente adatta al combattimento, ma è adatta a deviare gli oggetti lanciati giù dalle mura della fortezza,

Cappelli di ferro di questa forma sono molto rari. Pare ne esistano solo 2 o 3 esemplari, oltre a quello del museo Fioroni

Carissimo Michael. Ti ringrazio per le stupende miniature. Sono sempre preziosi ed attendibili documenti.

Un caro saluto a tutti
Cesare

Obviously in Italy we call it "Cappello d'armi" In english "Kettle Hat" ad so....
Retaining rings to camaglio, prove it without a doubt,
They are located just 84 mm from the bottom edge, then the edge of the hat was placed just above the eyebrow, So, openings for the eyes are
unnecessary
According to Italian experts, it is a special hat used by the infantry during sieges. In fact its shape is not really suitable for combat, but is designed to deflect objects thrown down the walls of the fortress,

Hats of iron in this form are very rare. It seems there are only 2 or 3 pieces, in addition to the museum Fioroni


Dear Michael. Thank you for the wonderful miniatures. Are always valuable and reliable documents.

Greetings to all
Cesare
