The double-headed eagle seems to have been symbol used both in Tsarist Russia and also in the Habsburg dominions.

(An unfortunate motif I've always thought:- it appears to indicate indecision !)

It looks like there's just enough detail for it to look good in the back ground but not enough for close examination.

I seriously would check the Hollywood angle. As it stands its not really anything. if it could be traced back to a particular film then it might and a bit to the price.

Were film props made of bronze perchance?

If it was meant to be worn, why is there no attachment for the lining used inside the helmet?



How big is the helmet?
