That's excellent! I bet the museum in Vienna would love to know that the helmet has been located.

Congratulations Jean Luc with this amazing Burgonet helmet!

Not only is this helmet of very important historical value, the condition and even more
the etching and engraving are of superb fine and detailed quality
as indeed one would only find on armor of high ranked officers or people with status.
@ Jasper, bravo on noticing on locating this treasure and its true provenance so fast !

Respectful greetings
Ulfberth

Hi Jasper

Again very interesting link .This picture N°7 and the other of course.
I can see that the standard burgonet is with a similar shape but with a smaller comb ,also the cheek pieces are less elaborate so would be for lower rank officer .But no doubt that this helmet could be associated with my armour .
So the armour showed in the picture seven very similar to my armour , specially the breastplate and collar for the rest some differences in the construction more or less plates for the tassets and rerebraces.
It looks that my armour come from the same arsenal .

Best
Jean-Luc
