The beautiful yet tactical design doesn’t compromise on style; it integrates medieval aesthetics with practical warfare needs, allowing you to stand out in any setting.
It’s important to note that each helmet is carefully coated with a layer of oil before packaging as a temporary protective measure against rust and corrosion. This layer can be easily wiped off with any oil remover or even a dry cloth, making maintenance easy and hassle-free.
Whether you’re using it for historical reenactments or simply adding to your collection of authentic armor, this helmet delivers on all fronts.
