History of Polish military helmets
Antique Polish military helmets have a rich and fascinating history stretching back many centuries. Among the most iconic is the 16th-century "Winged Hussar" helmet worn by the legendary Polish hussars. These helmets were adorned with large wings that gave these cavalrymen an imposing appearance on the battlefield, while providing some protection against enemy cavalry attacks. Another remarkable piece is the "Adrian" helmet, used during the First World War and inspired by the French model. Its distinctive shape and steel visor protected the soldier's face. These antique helmets bear witness to Poland's military heritage and the ingenuity of its craftsmen in creating protective items that are both functional and artistic.
