Siege Helmet ca. 1600-1650 French Siege engineers, sappers, and bombardiers regularly came under fire at close range and thus were equipped with extraordinarily heavy shot-proof armor. The bowl and cheeks of this example are protected by a double thickness of plates. The right side of the bowl has a proofmark--the dent caused by a bullet fired at a prescribed distance as proof of the armor plate's strength--but the shot did not penetrate the sturdy reinforce to the bowl below..
