17th-Century English Civil War Pikeman's Helmet with Original Black Paint. This authentic mid-17th-century English Civil War Pikeman's Helmet, often referred to as a "pot" helmet, is a remarkable survivor from the era of Oliver Cromwell. Crafted from riveted steel, it features a rounded dome and a wide, downturned brim designed to protect infantrymen from cavalry attacks and overhead strikes. Notably, this helmet retains much of its original blackened finish-a rare attribute that underscores its historical authenticity.

The black paint served both as a protective coating against corrosion and as a means to reduce battlefield glare. The interior structure remains intact, and the helmet exhibits a rich, aged patina indicative of its extensive use during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. Pikemen were essential to 17th-century infantry formations, wielding long spears to defend against cavalry charges.

Their helmets were crucial for protection, and this example embodies the practical design and craftsmanship of the time.
