Indo Persian Helmet--top missing?

naborow · 5th September 2012, 02:28 AM

this is another of the 15 or so things we got in a swap some 15 years ago from a family of someone who was in India in 1906. I have been looking on this forum and on the internet and want to confirm:
Antique Indo-Persian Helmet, 19th C with plume holders and sliding nose guard, and chain mail.?
Is it muslim or hindu or possible to tell? Indian, I think? where?
It does not have a spire coming from the top. Was that originally part of this.? the decorative rosette on the top seems so different from the ones i have seen on the internet. If its actually missing, what does that do to value (allowed question??)
I assume the detail is brass??
