Bedeutende dreikämmige Sturmhaube aus der Werkstatt des Desiderius Helmschmied, Augsburg, um 1530/40
Elegant geformte, einteilig geschlagene Glocke mit drei kräftigen gezahnten Kämmen. Einteilig gearbeiteter, spitz zulaufender Schirm mit gebördeltem und geschnürltem Rand. Darauf geschlagene Augsburger Abnahme (Pyr) und Helmmarke des Desiderius Helmschmied. Alte genietete Reparaturstelle an der linken Schirmseite. An der Rückseite der Kalotte vier Lochungen zum Anbringen der Federbuschtülle. Alt ergänzte Wangenklappen mit leicht abgesetzten gelochten Gehöröffnungen und fein gebördelten und geschnürlten Rändern. Anhängender Lederriemen mit eiserner Schnalle. Einteilig gearbeiteter, kurzer Nackenschirm. Im Inneren Reste der alten Belederung. Höhe 28 cm. Desiderius Helmschmied (1513 - 1578) arbeitet ab 1534 in der Werkstatt seines Stiefvaters Hans Lutzenberger, die er 1546 übernimmt. Wie sein Vater Kolman Helmschmied (1470 - 1532) genießt er höchstes Ansehen und arbeitet als Leibharnischmacher des Kaisers Karl V. U.a. fertigt er für ihn den Harnisch, den er auf dem bekannten Reiterportrait Tizians im Prado trägt.
Die seltenen Sturmhauben dieser Form mit drei gezahnten Kämmen werden traditionell der Leibgarde Kaiser Karls V. zugeschrieben (vgl. Müller, Heinrich, Europäische Helme, S. 338, zu Nr. 48). Ähnliche, ebenfalls von ihm oder seinem Vater gemarkte Exemplare befinden sich u.a. in den Sammlungen in Wien, Dresden und New York.

A significant triple-combed burgonet from the workshop of Desiderius Helmschmied of Augsburg, circa 1530/40
Elegantly shaped shell forged in one piece with three sturdy, serrated combs. Pointed peak crafted in one piece with turned and roped edge struck with Augsburg inspection mark (Pyr) and helmet mark of Desiderius Helmschmied. Old riveted repair on the left side of the peak. The reverse of the shell with four perforations to attach the plume socket. The cheek pieces an old replacement with slightly offset perforated openings for hearing and finely turned and roped edges. Attached leather strap with iron clasp. Short one-piece neck guard. The inside with remnants of the old leather lining. Height 28 cm.
Desiderius Helmschmied (1513 - 1578) was employed in the workshop of his stepfather Hans Lutzenberger from 1534 and took over the workshop in 1546. Like his father Kolman Helmschmied (1470 – 1532), he was held in high esteem and worked as personal armourer for Emperor Charles V, for whom he crafted, among other things, the armour the latter wears in the renowned equestrian portrait by Titian on display in the Prado.
The rare burgonets of this type with three serrated combs are traditionally ascribed to the life guard of Emperor Charles V (cf. Müller, Heinrich, Europäische Helme, p. 338, to No. 48). Similar specimen marked by him or his father can be seen, among others, in the collections in Vienna, Dresden and New York.
