OVERVIEW

This glorious 13th-century helmet is worthy of King Ferdinand III of Castile and representative of many helms of that period around Europe. Our replica is modeled directly on an English manuscript of circa 1250, held by the British Library (catalog number BL Royal 2 A XXII 'Westminster Psalter'). Folio 220 shows the kneeling and praying knight, with the great helm held above his head.

Made of 18 gauge steel, this lavish helm is adorned in decorative brass and comes with a soft cloth padded adjustable liner with leather tie straps. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

Stunning and very well made for the price
The brass work is stunning, though the actual helmet, if it did exist, would probably have just been painted.  Still this looks amazing.  It is not a light weight object.  The internal suspension system is very good, at least it was on mine.  The finish is way more than I was expecting for such a good price.  If you are wearing a padded arming cap and coif, then the suspension system can be loosened up almost all the way.   Even though this is rated at 18 gauge, the layers of brass work add up, around the center of the helmet it is more like 8 gauge.

None shall pass!
Good construction and appears every bit ready to do battle.  We put it on a stand to really set it off.

Love it.  I have the sugarloaf helm also and I wish that one had the chin strap that this one does.  fits well and securely.  I need to adjust the liner but I'm waiting until I have time to put it on over mail and arming cap to adjust the height and test the final fit.

Now THIS is a Helmet!
I flipped out when I first saw this helm in the Museum Replicas catalog and had to have it! When i got it it was heavier than expected. But it is magnificent! I wear this with my Knights Templar tunics and it has made me feel more like a lord, rather than just a knight. I display it in my library on a stand, when I am not wearing it.
