Questions about the product Historical German Morion Helmet - 1.6 mm steel

From what period does the historical model for this German morion helmet originate, and for what type of warriors was this helmet shape particularly typical in the 16th century?

The historical model for this German morion helmet dates back to the 16th century. This helmet style was particularly typical for infantrymen such as Landsknechts, pikemen, and city guards at that time, but was also worn by Spanish conquistadors and explorers.
What are the typical features that characterize the shape of the German morion helmet, and how did these features serve to protect the wearer in combat?

The German morion helmet from the 16th century is characterized by its distinctive helmet bowl with a high crown and a wide brim that curves upwards to a point at the front and back. This design served to protect the wearer: the prominent crest effectively deflected blows from above to the sides and increased the structural strength of the skull, while the surrounding brim protected the face and neck from falling objects or blows without restricting the wearer's vision or mobility.
What significance did the distinctive helmet crest have on this morion model for the defense against blows, and how did it affect the helmet's stability?

The distinctive crest of the morion helmet primarily served to structurally reinforce the helmet bowl and significantly increased the helmet's stability. Functionally, it offered additional protection against blows from above by absorbing the force of impacts and effectively deflecting attacks to the sides. Furthermore, the crest strengthened the construction, making the helmet more resistant to mechanical stress.
