The
dominant helmet during much of the 15th century evolved into the
first truly international style of medieval helmet, the close
helmet.
These helms were built of a snug-fitting bowl that came to just
above the ears, fitted with cheek plates that attached by hinges
to this bowl.
Then an additional layer of steel was added across the brow
along with a visor to fill in around the nose and eyes to make
an exceptionally functional closed helmet. This helmet
comes with an attached chain mail aventail.
This helmet is an authentic reproduction of the classic close
helm design.
It is made of hand-forged 16 gauge, low carbon, A-36 mild
steel. It is important to note that the lower the gauge, the
thicker the steel. For example: 16 gauge is thicker than 18
gauge. This metallurgical composition provides excellent
resilience, durability and will polish to high sheen.
The fully-articulated hinged visor allows for solid protection
and a comfortable fit.
This medieval helmet conforms to the Society for Creative
Anachronism's standards for thickness. This item is shipped to
