Description
This 14th Century Bascinet has been created from 14 gauge steel. The hinged visor can be raised and it can also be securely fixed into the down position with an adjustable leather neck strap. The bottom of the helmet exterior is fitted with brass fixtures that can be used to anchor a chainmail aventail in place if desired. This aventail is not included.
The interior of the helmet has been blackened and is fitted with an adjustable suspension liner of padded cotton.
This version of the bascinet has the typical curved crown and top designed to deflect much of the force of a strike. The visor has been designed by an armorer who well understood how a curved surface helps to dissipate the force of the blow better than a flatter surface or one with hard edges.
