European-Comb-Morian-Helmet The Morion, an evolution of the earlier Kettle Hat, was popular during the 16th and early 17th centuries. It usually featured a comb or crest, which was originally intended to help in deflecting blows and strengthening the construction, though on later models this feature was often exaggerated as a decorative feature. The Morion, though often associated with Spanish conquistadors, was common among foot soldiers throughout Europe. Crafted in 18 ga. steel, lined and ready for use. Approx. 26 1/2 around, 7 7/8 side to side, 9 front to back, 4 lb 8 oz medievaledge/index.php?route=product/product&path=122_127&product_id=193
