Great Antique Helm Medieval Pot Helmet

A closed helmet of five iron plates riveted to each other. All plates are made of forged iron with different thicknesses : 1,5 – 3 – 6 mm.
Above all the helmet is heavy armored in the front. Numerous breathing holes on both sides arranged under the two eye slits.
The air holes seem to have been made with three different tools. On one side at the top slightly damaged. 6 holes under the top plate probably for attaching the helmet lining.  All iron parts are heavily corroded.
