Historical originals served as a model (one of which is in the \u003ci\u003eMetropolitan Museum of Art\u003c\/i\u003e in New York). It impresses with its simple yet beautiful design, as well as its fluted bell, which distinguishes it from the rest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This rather simple, fedora-shaped helmet was worn throughout Europe by foot soldiers, archers, crossbowmen, pikemen and men-at-arms in the High and Late Middle Ages, and owes its name ( \u003ci\u003ekettle hat ) to its resemblance to a cooking pot (originally called \u003ci\u003ea teapot\u003c\/i\u003e ).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eAlthough aconites existed in many variations, they all had the same main feature: a broad brim that provided good protection not only against sword blows launched from above, but also against volleys of arrows or other projectiles fired or thrown from above. This very effective protective design, which did not restrict the wearer's vision, hearing, or breathing, proved advantageous in infantry sieges and mass battles and contributed significantly to the enduring popularity of this type of helmet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reconstruction we offer here is made of 1.6 mm (16-gauge) steel and is therefore only suitable for limited combat use. The blackened interior features a riveted, adjustable leather inlay, and the adjustable 3 mm leather chin strap is fitted with an antiqued brass buckle.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThis beautiful wearable helmet is suitable for light combat, reenactment, LARP, stage, or TV\/film, and will complete your transformation into a proud medieval warrior. Of course, the medieval helmet is also an excellent addition to any helmet collector's treasure trove.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\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. 65 cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Long interior distance (back of head-front): approx. 21.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Short inner distance (ear-to-ear): approx. 20 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Height: approx. 24 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 2 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 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.
