Battle Bascinet Late 13th Century

Description

Battle Bascinet Helmet – Late 13th Century Medieval Helmet:

The Battle Bascinet Helmet – Late 13th Century shows the change from the heavy Great Helm to the lighter styles that were popular in the 14th century. Knights and men-at-arms who wanted better visibility, ventilation and neck movement during battle liked this early bascinet design. Its beautiful shape and slightly pointed top made it a symbol of late-medieval warfare.

Armor Arena carefully made this helmet to look just like the originals, which were strong and well-made. It also adds modern comfort. The smooth, rounded skull and tapered profile are great for deflecting blows and the open face style makes it easy to wear with a mail aventail or padded coif for a full historical look.

We offer this helmet in 14, 16 and 18 gauge mild steel or 18 gauge stainless steel if you want something that is easier to care for and won’t rust. You can choose between a Dull Finish, which looks like it has been worn in a real campaign and a Mirror Finish, which looks polished and ready to show off. Each helmet has soft foam padding on the inside and a leather chin strap that can be adjusted and has a steel buckle to keep it secure.

This helmet is great for LARP, SCA, medieval reenactment, cosplay, film, theater and collecting. It is a good mix of authenticity, protection and craftsmanship. Armor Arena is the best choice for historical performers and fans alike because it offers the best quality at the lowest price.
