The object has a rounded shape, with several visible bands forming sewn panels, characteristic of protective helmets used in rugby during the first half of the 20th century. The exterior finish shows a marked patina, highlighting its age and past use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface shows a visual appearance reminiscent of leather, with regular traces of wear, scratches and abrasion marks distributed over the entire helmet. The dominant shade is dark brown, nuanced with lighter areas where the material appears to have been most stressed. Two small metal eyelets (probably for ventilation) are visible on the left side, adding a functional touch to the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is distinguished by robust and visible seams, following a radiating pattern from the top of the helmet. These clearly visible seams bear witness to traditional manufacturing, typical of sports equipment of the time. No brand, logo or inscription is visible on the presented face, reinforcing the artisanal or early character of this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe helmet displays a compact, enveloping silhouette, with a reinforced edge on the lower part. The relief of the seams and the irregular texture of the surface accentuate the vintage and authentic aspect of the object. The state of conservation reveals a rich history, between patina of use and traces of time on the entire shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object is showcased in an old interior setting, but only the upper face and a lateral part of the helmet are visible in the photo. No details of the underside, inside or back are observable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond-hand item, sold as is.
