Cylindrical Flat Top Helmet Pangratio, also called Calota
This cylinder helmet from the early 13th century is reinforced with an iron spring on the front to protect the warrior's head more effectively. A wider visor, reaching a third of the helmet circumference, allows for a good view. The individual parts of the helmet are fitted to each other and riveted with a sufficient number of rivets for high durability. The reinforced oval bell, whose curved edges are riveted at the top, guarantees sufficient protection against cuts from above. A deep black patina develops on the surface of the helmet for an authentic look. The helmet has a fabric lining on the inside. More information...
Cylindrical Flat Top Helmet Pangratio, also called Calota
A helmet with a fixed visor from the first half of the 13th century was not very complex. A curved plate formed the back, the other with the visor the front of the helmet. The two were riveted together to form a cylinder wide enough to accommodate the warrior's head. The top of the helmet was terminated by a flat oval bowl riveted to this cylinder from below (or above) by means of a curved edge. The front longer part reaches under the chin. We see similar helmets on the illuminations of Veldek's Aeneid at the beginning of the 13th century. A helmet of this type is on display in the Koninklijk Nederlands Leger en Wapen Museum in Delft. A silver reliquary in Aachen Cathedral is also very clear evidence of the appearance and construction of such early forms of great helmets.
