This is an authentic reproduction of the medieval helmets worn
by the Hoplite - the warriors of Ancient Greece.
This helmet originated in Greece in the 7th Century B.C. and
was later adopted by the Romans. It was a popular style all the
way up to the 4th Century B.C. and was the basis for many
Helmets of the Renaissance Period.
These medieval helmets were designed to be close-fitting. Shaped
to the skull with only small openings left for the eyes,
nostrils and mouth. This design allowed for maximum protection,
visibility and air flow. And it must have been a terrifying
sight to the enemy.
This helmet is made of hand-forged 16 gauge, low carbon, A-36
mild steel. This metallurgical composition provides excellent
resilience, durability and will polish to high sheen.
This medieval helmet conforms to the Society for Creative
Anachronism's regulations for thickness.
This item is shipped to you pre-oiled for protection.
Due to the handmade nature of this item, no two examples are
alike. It's truly a unique, collectible piece.
It is your responsibility to understand SCA combat rules and
regulations. These rules and regulations vary from tournament to
tournament and all standards are subject to interpretation by
Tournament Marshall. For your own protection, do not wear this
or any other helmet in any combat activity unless it is approved
by SCA Officials prior to event.
You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase this Medieval
Corinthian Helmet.
