An exceptional, highly desirable, and all-original English Civil War "Lobster-Tail" Pot Helmet, representing the iconic silhouette of the New Model Army cavalry during the tumultuous mid-17th century. Commonly referred to as a "Cromwellian Pot," this helmet was the standard tactical head defense for the Harquebusiers who fought in the historic clashes at Marston Moor, Naseby, and Worcester. The collectible market is awash with reproductions of this quintessential battle helmet. This example is entirely period and homogenous with its original earflaps and nasal bar. Good condition throughout.
