This exquisite full-size helm follows the style of the armet, a helm generally used during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This piece has a full visor hinged at each cheek which can easily be raised or lowered. The visor has many "Breathe" holes providing adequate vision with superior protection.
This particular piece comes with a fully-functional gorget, the armor that protects the neck,throat, and upper part of the chest. A leather strap and buckle allow for entry and exiting of the piece, insuring a snug fit. The gorget has a decorative golden band encircling the helm.
This is a must-have for any serious museum-quality piece collector!
