Step into the legendary age of the Crusades with this Crusader Knight Pot Helm, a battle-ready reproduction of the great helms worn by mounted knights of the Holy Orders in the 12th and 13th centuries. Designed for full-face protection and an imposing battlefield presence, this helm embodies both faith and strength.

Unlike simpler helmets of the period, this model is distinguished by its riveted brass cross on the face plate, a bold declaration of devotion and a functional reinforcement against weapon strikes. The perforated mouth plate provides breath ability, while the 16 gauge steel construction ensures superior impact resistance compared to lighter replicas.

Collectors, enthusiasts, and performers will appreciate the fine detailing: polished steel, brass fittings, and riveted accents that capture the spirit of medieval craftsmanship. The roomy interior allows for additional padding or a coif, ensuring comfort and stability during wear. When not in use, the included canvas bag offers safe storage, shielding the helm from dust and scratches.

Perfect for display, costume armor, or live events, this Crusader helm carries with it the presence and legacy of medieval knighthood.
