14th–15th Century Medieval Bascinet Helmet with Klappvisier and Liner

Description

Step into the armor of a late medieval warrior with this Medieval Bascinet Helmet, an accurate reconstruction of the helm worn by knights and men-at-arms from the 14th to 15th centuries. Crafted from sturdy mild steel and available in two thickness options, it brings together historical form and reliable functionality.

The Klappvisier style visor—introduced in the 1300s—offered a vital battlefield advantage. Warriors could raise the faceplate between engagements or detach it entirely for improved sight and airflow. This Medieval Bascinet Helmet replicates that same design, complete with a riveted hinge and air-perforated faceguard to keep it as breathable as it is protective.

Each helmet includes a comfortable liner, ensuring a snug, stable fit during wear. Whether you need a durable helm for a statement piece for a themed event, this piece is made to perform and impress.
