This
helm style became popular in the late 13th century, quickly
replacing the Great Helm because the rounder shape gave the
pigface a closer more secure fit.
Towards the late 14th century, the long snouted appearance had
earned it the nickname Hounskull, or Pig-face bascinet.
This is an excellent reproduction of the Pigface as it was circa
1390 A.D.
It is made of hand-forged 18 gauge, low carbon, A-36 mild
steel. This metallurgical composition provides excellent
resilience, durability and will polish to high sheen.
The accents are all real C-854 brass, not electro-plated.
They also polish to a mirror finish.
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.

combat rules and regulations. These rules and regulations vary
