sight. Our recreation in leather is crafted

Great Bascinet
|
|
|
The Great bascinet was the first helm to be worn with
complete suits of plate armor, and could be
found on the battlefields all over Europe.
The Great Bascinet was used in battle up until
the last quarter of the Hundred Years War 1337
- 1453 between England and France. They are a
development from the earlier pig faced or
hound skull bascinets which were shorter, with
mail aventail protection for the throat and
neck. Our Great Bascinet crafted in 13/15 oz
cuirbouille leather replicates the steel
version which replaced the mail with plate
armour, and combines the rounded skullcap of
the Klappvisor helm with the rounded nose of
the Great bascinet. The face is protected by a
hinged rounded visor pierced with
numerous holes for sight and ventilation.Wearable
with an ordinary arming cap. Includes chin
strap.
To our knowledge the only heavy leather
bascinet currently in production. Item Name: Great Leather Bascinet

Leather Corinthian Helm
|
|
The
Corinthian helm originated in ancient
Greece and took its name from the city-state of Corinth.
It was a helmet made of bronze which
in its later styles covered the entire head and neck, with slits for the
eyes and mouth. A large curved projection protected the nape of the neck.
Out of combat, a Greek "hoplite" would
wear the helmet tipped upward for comfort. This practice gave rise to a
series of variant forms in Italy, where the slits were almost closed,
since the helmet was no longer pulled over the face but worn cap-like.
Although the classical Corinthian helmet fell out of use among the Greeks
in favor of more open types, the Italo-Corinthian types remained in use
until the 1st century AD, being used, among others, by the Roman
army.
Our version is crafted from Cuirbouille hardened 13/15 oz.leather. The
intense heat and protective finish increase the hardness of the heavy
leather and protects it from mildew and moisture.

"T" Face Barbute Helmet -14 Gauge Steel
|
|
The barbute or celeta was
developed in Italy during the 15th century but its roots can be
traced back to ancient Greece and its development may have been
influenced by a growing interest at the time in artefacts of the
ancient world. These helmets were popular throughout Europe and
offered an alternative to the more restrictive sallet. They had no
visor, fitted closely to the head and neck and the sides often
extended almost to the shoulders and round in front of the face. The
extended sides protected the neck and jaw, dispensing with the need
for a separate bevor or gorget.
Our open face celeta is based on an original from the Wallace
Collection in London and our T-faced barbute replicates the helmet
adorning the ‘Avant’ armour housed at the Kelvingrove Museum,
Glasgow. Both are constructed from 14 gauge steel plate and are
supplied with an adjustable leather liner and chinstrap. Available
in medium or large.
