What is the finish of the armour in the photo ? Has the helmet got padding ? Is the price (for changing the gauge of the steel or the finish) the same, despite I want only the helmet ? Thank
If I already have a 16th century half suit, is it possible to order just the helmet?
Reakce na 1 (Shilo WIlson) It is armet, but it is not like earlier forms like late medieval thing. It is such variables. They call it closed helmet or armet. And Armet is closed helmet. And not always needed bevor(or wrapper), because early 16th century helmets attached directly to the turnable gorget.
Excuse me, I believe that is not an armet helmet. An armet consists of a one piece skull and two articulated cheek plates that lock at the chin, then the visor goes over that. In the picture, it is showing what is called a close helmet, not an armet. A close helmet consists of a larger skull piece and a bevor, that would lock in the center of the side of the head, and this particular visor is a greenwich style. I don't mean to get on my soap box, but I thought I should let you know to fix the terminology.
