Description

Cylindrical Flat Top Helmet – Authentic Medieval Armor for Collectors & Reenactors:

(Historically “Great Helm” or “Topfhelm”. This design originated in Western Europe during the mid‑13th century and was commonly worn by Crusaders, Templars and knights across Europe.)

The helmet, commonly referred to as the Cylindrical Flat Top Helmet or the great helm in some cases, was defining armor during the high medieval ages. Dating to late 12th to 14th centuries, this helmet was used by knights and crusaders, having a cylindrical design with a flat crown that allowed excellent protection from strikes by sword, arrows and whatever other threat may be faced on the battlefield. This was a signature style of helmet and became quite popular in the Crusades heralding the strength and perseverance of the medieval warriors.
