Transitional Great Helmet, End of the 13. Cen.

This type of helmet is an excellent example of the evolution of the knightly helmet. It is one of the first attempts to protect the face with more than just a nasal extension or a mail coif with a face flap. This helm continued on to become the complete head protection of the barrel helm. This example has been crafted from 18 gauge steel that has been antiqued for an aged appearance. More information...
