FEATURES OF HELMET OF "BURGINOT" (FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE ORENBURG REGIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM) ^{[№ 5 ' 2012]}
During the conservation work on a solid-forged burginot of Austrian type identified a design feature — its crown and cheek armor are made from two layers of metal by tapping. The reason of two-layered material choice is ascertained: it is the reducing of energy and labor-intensiveness. The application of two layers of steel reduced energy consumption for also piercing of a helmet under conditions of battle. The most probable variations of various aspects related to Western European helmet in the Southern Urals in the XVII–XVIII centuries are ascertained.
