Unleash your inner knight with Guiron the Courteous, a stunning reproduction of a 14th-century knightly visored bascinet. Imagine yourself clad in authentic medieval armor, ready to charge into an epic battle, equipped with a helmet that marries tradition with practicality. This exquisite piece is intricately designed, taking inspiration from historic references such as the famed relief from Palazzo del Bargello in Florence and a manuscript from France, BNF Nouvelle acquisition française 5243, dating back to 1370-80.
Crafted by skilled artisans from 16 gauge mild steel, the Guiron bascinet is not just a beautiful display piece; it’s a functional and versatile helmet that embodies the chivalric spirit of the medieval era. Featuring a hinged visor, this helmet allows you to easily refresh yourself and take a sip of water, making it a superior alternative to the cumbersome great helm, which limited mobility and comfort.
The thoughtfully designed inner circumference of 68 cm ensures that it fits most head sizes, accommodating a range from 58 cm to 61 cm. Whether you have a broad forehead or a more narrow shape, the adjustable genuine leather liner provides a snug fit, while the leather chin strap secures the helmet in place, ensuring it won’t budge during your most daring quests.
When you don this knightly bascinet, you’ll find a stunning height of approximately 29 cm, and inner measurements that enhance comfort: an inner width of about 20 cm at ear level, and an inner depth from front to back of 27.9 cm at eye level. The precision-crafted eye slits measuring 8.5 cm by 1.5 cm provide optimal visibility without sacrificing protection. Weighing in at around 4 kg and 920 grams, this helmet balances weight with robust protection, making it an ideal choice for spirited reenactments or cinematic endeavors.
One detail you’ll appreciate is that each helmet is carefully coated with a protective layer of oil upon packaging. This serves as a temporary shield against corrosion, giving you peace of mind regarding maintenance. A simple wipe with any oil remover or a dry cloth is all you need to keep your helmet pristine and ready for action!
