A decorative plume socket, with red brush, is fitted and mounted above the Medusa’s head. To the front of the helmet body is fitted a brass plate that features a flaming grenade with laurel branches either side. A plume socket of brass is fitted to the left side of the helmet body complete with red plume and a leather chinstrap, faced with brass chin scales. Inside, the helmet has seven tongues of leather lining showing some wear. A small, stamped makers mark on the rear of the helmet is stamped A. GOD***CT. With the inside of the peaks being painted mustard brown there is a strong chance this helmet was used in the very early part of WW1.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos Display',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #333333; background: #E5E7E6;\"\u003eGood condition \u0026amp; complete $1850\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Aptos Display',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Burridge Military Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51328314015908,"sku":null,"price":1850.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/1052\/0996\/files\/FrenchCurrassier.jpg?v=1778756220","url":"https:\/\/www.jbma.com.au\/products\/an-attractive-french-1870-pattern-cuirassier-troopers-helmet","provider":"John Burridge Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
