The ancient Greeks wore helmets of thick leather and bronze to protect their heads from swords and arrows. Over time helmets evolved to protect the face and neck, sometimes covering the entire head with only eye slits for visibility. By 1400 this sophisticated armor featured pivots and hinges for greater mobility and protection.

Review of: Hounskull Bascinet
Good Lord do I like this! This helmet fits very well right out of the box and isn't so danged heavy you can't move your head! The only issue is the the pins that hold the visor on can come out of the hinge and fall off when you are taking the hemlet off or moving it around. I will probably drill a hole on the end and attach a chain or strap to keep them from getting lost! Well made helmet and it looks great!!! Having the integrated liner is a big plus!!

Review of: Hounskull Bascinet
I just got this helmet yesterday, and true enough it’s a great buy. This fits extremely well and looks amazing.
While it’s true the visor doesn’t lift completely it still moves easily and comes with strapping to secure it around the back of the head. It’s also easy to see out of and came padded.
Overall, this is a great helmet for anyone. I highly recommend this hounskull as your next gear find.

Review of: Hounskull Bascinet
So this is not my first helm from MRL. Want to change up my look a little for the fairs. This one runs a little tighter then my first. But still very wearable. The visor does not even come close to lifting up enough to get it out of your way. But that is about the only draw back. worth every penny.

This helmet is really well done. The visor can't be held up all the way but it looks good.

Review of: The Norseman Helmet
I did not know what to expect when I ordered this Norseman Helmet. I wanted it to be the centerpiece on a beautiful antique desk I finished and was hoping that it would fit the part. When it arrived I opened it and could say nothing but WOW. Heavy duty, beautiful detail, solid metal construction... you will not be disappointed!!!.

Review of: Knights Templar Sugarloaf Helm
Visually spectacular, the Knights Templar Sugarloaf Helm is easily the most impressive helmet in my collection. The antique-brass cross pate' enhances the inherently harmonious lines of the helm -- a real eye catcher!
