Antique Fencing Face Shield Helmet #1099

Description

Calling all
novelty item
lovers!
This listing is for an old, fencing face shield helmet.  It comes with no padding, if it ever had some, and is quite heavy.  I’m not sure, but I believe, the gold finish balls were put on by a past owner and aren’t original.
Feel free to let me know any information you may have on this item as I'm definitely not an expert in this area.
It is unmarked
It looks to be in good shape for its age, but may have the expected age-related scuffs, scratches, wear, and dirt.
