This simple medieval helmet is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a high quality, authentic yet affordable helmet. This carefully handcrafted sallet offers excellent value for money and is an ideal addition to any medieval armour.
The sallet is a type of helmet that originated in the late Middle Ages, developing from the kettle hat in the first half of the 15th century. Over the course of the century it gradually replaced the bascinet and became one of the most commonly worn helmets throughout Europe. This helmet type could be found in many different shapes and variations – from plain to elaborately crafted, open-faced or visored, with a more or less pronounced tailpiece. The sallet was especially popular in Italy (celata), Germany (Schaller), France (salade) and England. At the dawn of the Renaissance, this medieval helmet eventually evolved into the 16th c. burgonet.
This authentic reconstruction is made from 1.6 mm steel and is modelled after late medieval originals from the 15th century. The helmet features a protecting neck guard and a prominent ridge or crest running along its apex. The edge is rolled all around. The rectangular, approx. 1 cm wide, 16 cm long eye-slit with an extended lower lip ensures sufficient vision, while also allowing for proper ventilation. The interior is fitted with an adjustable leather liner attached with rivets. The pre-punched, adjustable chin strap made of supple, durable leather allows for a custom fit.
Suitable for re-enactment, LARP, stage or Film/TV, this fully wearable knight helmet is most fitting for settings of the late Middle Ages and ideal to complete the armour of a European warrior. It will make your transformation into a proud knight just perfect, and is a great, decorative addition to any helmet collector’s treasure chamber.
