This beautiful helmet with hinged visor is a reproduction of a typical tournament helmet from the early 16th century. Developed at the end of the 15th century, this helmet was worn by knights and men-at-arms in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It was a fully-enclosing helmet that protected both the head and the neck. While it was also used on the battlefield, it enjoyed great popularity at jousting tournaments.
What clearly distinguishes this visored helmet from the Schaller (from which it developed) is the completely different opening and closing mechanism - here the integrated, pivoting beard opens vertically instead of sideways and is mounted on the same pivot pins as the two-part visor.
The reconstruction we offer here is made of 1.6 mm (16 gauge) steel and is therefore only suitable for show fighting to a limited extent. As with the surviving originals, the folding visor is a split construction consisting of two independent elements, which are hinged on both sides at a single pivot point at temple height, so that the wearer can choose whether he wants to push up only the upper part or the entire face shield. The entire front half is attached to the same pivot points as the two-part visor and can be folded up to put the helmet on. When closed, it is secured by a hook on the side. The helmet skull has a generous crest, the eye slits are each approx. 6 cm long and 0.8 cm wide, and numerous round openings provide the necessary air circulation.
The blackened interior is fitted with an adjustable leather inlay, and the adjustable chin strap made of black, 3 mm thick leather is fitted with a brass buckle.
This beautiful, wearable knight's helmet is suitable for light show combat, re-enactment, LARP, stage or TV/film and will make your transformation into a proud knight simply perfect. Of course, it also makes an excellent addition to any helmet collector's treasure trove.
