Questions about the product Zischägge helmet: Authentic replica from the 17th century.

What are the characteristic features of the 17th-century Zischägge helmet, and why is it also called the Lobster Tail Helmet in English?

The 17th-century Zischägge helmet is characterized by a hemispherical bowl, a visor with a nose iron, cheek pieces, and a distinctive neck guard. In English, it is known as a Lobster Tail Helmet because the neck guard, made of several overlapping plates, visually resembles a lobster's tail. Originally developed under Oriental influence from the Turkish Çiçak hood, this cavalry helmet was widespread in Europe during the Thirty Years' War and the English Civil War.
Which historical troop types of the 17th century primarily used this helmet type, and from which region of origin did the design of the Zischägge originally come?

The helmet bell of the Zischägge was usually made of steel in the 17th century. The average weight of such a replica is about 2.67 kg.
After which important general of the Thirty Years' War is the Zischägge also called the Pappenheimer helmet, and for what practical reason were many of these helmets often painted black, in contrast to polished examples?

The Zischägge helmet is known as the Pappenheimer helmet after the Imperial Field Marshal Gottfried Heinrich Count of Pappenheim. Many of these helmets were painted black to protect the metal from corrosion and rust, as this was simpler and cheaper in the field than the time-consuming process of polishing the surfaces.
