Product description
The bascinet is a type of helmet that was often worn since the 14th century and originated from the secret helmet. This helmet is based on a statue of Robert I (1274-1329) in Bannockburn, Scotland. In 1314 he defeated the English army at Bannockburn, a victory that led to Scottish independence. Robert the Bruce is still one of Scotland's most popular historical figures. This helmet is made of 1.6 mm thick steel with a brass crown that is riveted on it. The chainmail aventail protects the neck and throat, but you can also remove it. The inside of the helmet has a leather inlay. You can fasten the helmet under your chin with an authentic buckle. Perfect for medieval reenactment, Scottish collections and Robert the Bruce costumes.Product details
