15th century bevor, bronzed, 1.6 mm

Product description

Bevors like this were developed in the second half of the 15th century. They protected the vulnerable neck and were typically worn with a sallet, kettle helmet, or — at the beginning of the 16th century — a burgonet. The sallet-bevor combination was the most common, and both pieces could be attached in various ways.

1. Sallet half over the head – delivers an optimal field of vision.

2. Sallet half over the head with bevor closed – delivers an optimal field of vision with extra facial protection.

3. Sallet flat on the head with visor open – keeps your field of vision clear and works well for giving commands in battle.

4. Sallet flat on the head with visor open and bevor closed – adds slightly more protection while keeping visibility strong.

5. Sallet flat on the head with visor closed – gives maximum protection for the head and face.

This bevor is made from multiple parts. Lift the chin piece for additional protection. It pairs well with sallets that have a half visor.

At the back, a leather strap fastens the bevor securely around the neck.
