Treat yourself to an English Close Helmet, 1.6 mm Steel.
English close helmet, late medieval/Renaissance helmet, 1.6 mm steel
This beautiful helmet with a folding visor is a reproduction of a typical tournament helmet from the early 16th century, also known as a close helmet. Developed at the end of the 15th century, this helmet was used by knights and men-at-arms during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It was a fully enclosed helmet that protected both the head and the neck. Although it was also used on the battlefield, it was extremely popular in jousting tournaments.
What clearly distinguishes this visored helmet from the sallet and the armet (from which it was developed) is the completely different opening and closing mechanism: the integrated and pivoting bevor (or chin reef) opens vertically rather than laterally 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 combat use to a limited extent. As with surviving originals, the folding visor is a split construction consisting of two independent elements, articulated on each side at a single pivot point at the temple, which allows the wearer to choose whether to slide up only the upper part or the entire visor. The entire front half is attached to the same pivot points as the two-piece visor and can be folded down to put the helmet on. When closed, it is secured by a hook on the side. The helmet bowl has a generous comb, the viewing slits are approximately 6 cm long and 0.8 cm wide, and numerous round holes ensure necessary air circulation.
The blackened interior has an adjustable leather inlay and the adjustable chin strap made of 3 mm thick black leather is equipped with an antiqued brass buckle.
This beautiful and wearable knight's helmet is suitable for light combat, reenactment, LARP, stage, or TV/film and will make your transformation into a proud knight simply perfect. Of course, it is also an excellent addition to the treasure trove of any helmet collector.
