The pointed Morion helmet has a total weight of approximately 1.95 kg. To maintain the polished finish and prevent corrosion, the helmet should always be kept dry and treated with a light coat of oil after use.
Is the pointed Morion helmet suitable for sporting stage combat, and what specific internal dimensions does the helmet shell have for an optimal fit?

The pointed morion helmet, due to its steel thickness of approximately 1.3 mm, is not suitable for competitive combat, as a thickness of at least 1.5 mm to 2 mm is generally recommended for this purpose. However, it is ideal for LARP, reenactment, and costumes. The helmet shell is designed for a head circumference of up to approximately 61 cm. The specific internal dimensions are approximately 22 cm (back of head to forehead) and 17.5 cm (ear to ear). A height-adjustable leather liner and a chin strap ensure a customized fit and stability.
Which historical troop types of the Renaissance predominantly used the pointed morion helmet, and how does its shape differ from the Spanish cabaset?

The pointed morion helmet was primarily used in the Renaissance by unmounted mercenaries, pikemen, arquebusiers, as well as city guards and bodyguards (such as the Swiss Guard). Its shape differs from the Spanish cabasset (also called a pear helmet) mainly in its characteristic high crest plate on the helmet bowl and the wide brim that curves upwards at the sides, while the cabasset has an almond-shaped bowl with a usually flatter, narrower brim and often a small, backward-curving finial.
