Description
Step back in time with the exquisite 13th Century Great Helm / Pot Helm, a stunning homage to medieval craftsmanship that blends history with functionality. Designed to echo the storied knights of yore, this helmet is a masterful recreation inspired by the iconic designs captured in various 13th-century manuscripts, notably similar to those found in the renowned Maciejowszky Bible. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to ensure an authentic medieval experience, making it perfect for reenactors, historical ballets, or anyone wanting to channel their inner warrior.
One of the first things you’ll notice is the PURE BRASS Cross, beautifully riveted to the helm’s front. This striking feature not only enhances the helmet’s aesthetic but also stands as a testament to the artistry of the period. The helmet’s flat top, a hallmark of its time, offers a transition towards the more pointed sugarloaf helm that flourished in subsequent centuries—a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of armored headgear.
Comfort and utility go hand in hand with historical accuracy in this remarkable piece. Handmade from 16 gauge MILD STEEL, this helm is not just visually stunning; it’s constructed to withstand the rigors of use. Weighing approximately 3.39 kilograms, this helmet ensures you won’t feel bogged down while wearing it, making it suitable for extended wear during events or performances.
With a height of about 33 cm, and precise measurements that enhance fit and comfort—such as the inner depth of 22.5 cm and width at ear level of 21 cm—this helmet is tailored for optimal wearability. The strategically designed eye slits, measuring 10.5 cm long, are not only practical for visibility but also add a fierce look to your ensemble.
Worried about size? The inner circumference of 72 cm (excluding the padded liner) accommodates most adult male heads comfortably. Should you desire to wear additional protection with a padded cap, simply measure your head with it to ensure the best fit. The included padded liner, already attached, adds an extra layer of comfort, allowing for hours of wear without discomfort.
Preserving your investment is effortless; when packaged, the helmet is treated with a protective layer of oil to ward off rust and corrosion. This temporary barrier can be easily removed, ensuring your Great Helm remains pristine and battle-ready.
Whether you’re participating in a reenactment, attending a medieval fair, or simply adorning your collection, the 13th Century Great Helm / Pot Helm is more than just armor—it’s a statement piece that reflects your passion for history and authenticity. Step into the shoes of an elite knight and let this helmet take you on an unforgettable journey through time!
