Helmet dated 977 1588–89 Turkish This example is inscribed with the name Vizier Hasan Pāshā and the date 977 ( 1588–89). A number of helmets and other elements of armor are engraved with the names of high-ranking Ottoman officials. These are not necessarily owners' names but presumably served as inventory markings, indicating the vizier who was responsible for the armories at the time or designating helmets that belonged to men under the vizier's command. Hasan Pāshā was governor of Egypt from 1580 to Helmet 24021
