(Code: 2572) | |   Approximately 1840s-50s this helmet was worn by Egyptian Cuirassier regiments who were bodyguards to the Khedive of Egypt Muhammed Ali Pasha.He was Khedive or Viceroy/Governor of Egypt and Sudan, a vassal of the Ottoman Empire.
These helmets were made in France and also by Henry Wilkinson of London.The Cuirassier Uniforms of the Khedives regiments followed European military styles of the time particularly France.There is much rust throughout the surface and interior of helmet but this could be cleaned up and removed and improve the appearance.
Crown is missing its dome and half moon spike and there is no chainmail aventail present to rear.Interior liner is also absent.Left side of chinstrap chainmail is present however the right side is missing a part of its attachment.Interior rear neck guard has the aventail chainmail attachment hooks present. Brass helmet centre band and round brass side discs in reasonable condition.There are three dents to the upper crown at front,side and rear.
The front arrow shaped visor guard is rusted but intact.To front right side of helmet crown is white paint that appears to be an accidental occurence at some time.
An unusual and rare helmet.

Type B brass buckle with nickel silver front plate.The front plate has been heavily polished to extent that the Ottoman script 'Asakir-Sahane'(pronounced Asakry Shahanah-Sultans Ottoman Army) is very faint.The front plate has at some point been repaired and unusually there is an anomaly in that the belt prongs are on the left side as opposed to the standard right hand side.Perhaps the front plate was during repair reattached upside down or the owner requested the prongs left side as possibly left handed and easier to buckle belt this way.We will never know but makes an interesting slant to an otherwise standard EM's buckle.
