Description

This Crusader Great Helmet is a faithful recreation of the formidable barrel helms used by knights during the High Middle Ages, especially throughout the 13th-century Crusades. Its commanding cylindrical shape and full facial enclosure were engineered for protection in close-quarters combat and mounted warfare.

What sets this version apart is the riveted 20G brass cruciform plate, emblazoned boldly across the face. This historically symbolic cross not only provides added strength and visual contrast but evokes the knight’s sacred duty during the Crusader campaigns. The gleaming brass overlay on a polished 18G mild steel body delivers both rugged performance and historical flair.

With an interior fit of approximately 72 cm, this Crusader Great Helmet can comfortably be worn over a padded coif or arming cap. Ventilation holes across the lower half of the faceplate ensure airflow, while the narrow vision slit remains true to 13th-century martial aesthetics.

Whether you’re assembling a museum-worthy collection, preparing for a costumed event, or portraying a knight in battle, this Crusader Great Helmet offers an unparalleled combination of accuracy, symbolism, and build quality.
