The upper bevor is pierced on the right side with circular breaths in a star burst pattern. It is rusted overall with the crest rusted through, from four centuries of exposure to the elements. 10 ½” height.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Gift Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48206318797043,"sku":"C5735","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0599\/2600\/files\/C5735A.png?v=1764943161","url":"https:\/\/historygiftstore.com\/products\/english-knight-s-close-helmet-c-1560","provider":"The History Gift Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
