It was a fully enclosed helmet that protected both the head and neck. While also used on the battlefield, it was extremely popular in jousting tournaments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What clearly distinguishes this visor helmet from the \u003ci\u003eSchaller\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eArmet\u003c\/i\u003e (from which it was developed) is the completely different opening and closing mechanism: the \u003ci\u003eintegrated, pivoting chin reef opens the chin\u003c\/i\u003e (or \u003ci\u003echin reef\u003c\/i\u003e ) vertically rather than laterally and is mounted on the same pivot pins as the two-part visor.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe reconstruction we offer here is made of 1.6 mm (16 gauge) steel and is therefore only suitable for limited combat use. As with the surviving originals, the folding visor is a split construction consisting of two independent elements, hinged on either side at a single pivot point at temple level, allowing the wearer to choose whether to slide up just the top 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 don the helmet. When closed, it is secured by a hook on the side. The helmet bell has a generous ridge; the viewing slots measure approximately 6 cm long and 0.8 cm wide, and numerous round recesses ensure the necessary air circulation.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe blackened interior has an adjustable leather inlay and the adjustable chin strap made of 3mm thick black leather is fitted with an antique brass buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This beautiful and wearable knight 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's also an excellent addition to any helmet collector's treasure trove.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Material: 1.6mm steel, leather inlay and chin strap, brass buckle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Suitable for head circumference up to approx. 67 cm.\u003cbr\u003e - For a neck circumference of up to approx. 44 cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Long interior distance (back of head-front): approx. 23 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Short inner distance (ear-to-ear): approx. 20 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Height (with beard section\/ring collar): approx. 37 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 4 kg\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe above specifications may vary slightly from copy to copy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
