Description
The interior circumference measures 27 inches, providing a snug fit around the head. From side to side, the interior width is 8 inches, allowing for comfortable wear without excessive movement. The front-to-back interior length measures 9 inches, accommodating the shape of the skull beneath the helmet. Constructed from 18 gauge mild steel, this helmet balances protection with manageable weight. The overall weight is approximately 7 pounds 7 ounces, typical for a helmet designed to withstand the rigors of battle. Features an articulated bevor, a movable plate that safeguards the lower face and throat while allowing for head movement. Equipped with a spring pin mechanism that securely locks the bevor in place during combat, yet permits quick adjustment when needed.
Fun fact: The German Sallet helmet, popular in the 15th century, often featured a long tail at the back to protect the neck, a design element that distinguished it from other European helmets of the period.
