Product description
This folding visor bascinet is a reconstruction of a late medieval bascinet with a hinged visor, as it was worn in Central Europe from the early 14th century until well into the 15th century. The strikingly pointed, flat helmet bowl and the movable visor give this helmet an impressive, menacing appearance.
The helmet is made of approximately 2 mm thick steel (visor approx. 1.4 mm) with a linen inner lining and leather finish. At the back there are vervelles: protruding, pierced rivets with which a chain mail camail can be attached (not included). The visor is completely removable and is held in place with pins and chains.
This bascinet is suitable for re-enactment, HEMA and as a decorative showpiece for the collector.
