Close-Helmet for the Field ca. 1520 German, Nuremberg Although fluted surfaces generally characterize German armor of about 1510-30, smooth-surfaced harnesses were equally commonplace and were more quickly and cheaply manufactured. This helmet is fitted with a new form of visor, one of elaborately forged "bellows" shape, whereas the articulated neck lames look back to earlier sallet construction (see acc. no. 29.158.34). The right side of the bevor is struck on the outside with the arms of Nuremberg; inside the same plate is a stamped N within a pearled circle, another Nuremberg control mark. Along with Augsburg, the city of Nuremberg was a major center for armor manufacture in Germany and was especially renowned for its fluted harnesses.. Close-Helmet for the Field.
