A late 16th/early 17th century German black and white high comb morion helmet, possibly for the Munich Town Guard. Helmet is of two piece construction, with flanged and peaked brim. Exterior of helmet appears to have original black paint finish, with polished and embossed fleur-de-lis on both sides. Item features a plume socket to front and 12 rivets with brass rosette washers. Item also has riveted ear flaps still with interior leather, a rarity among most helmets of the period. Does not appear to have any visible armorer's marks.
