English Civil War lobster pot helmet, 18th century caliber
A fierce iron side mounted, holding his heavy cavalry sword or a pistol while carrying with this legendary lobster pot helmet; a vision you'd like to be a part of too! And what has been our inspiration for this simplified version of the most iconic helmet of the English Civil War!
Handmade soft steel of 18 caliber, this helmet is lightweight but sturdy. It is lined with genuine leather that acts as a damper and provides a comfortable fit at the same time. This helmet comes with significant face and neck protection offered by the three protective bars and cheek plates, respectively. Its circumference is approx. 66 cm making it ideal for almost all head sizes.
The famous Ironsides were the elite knights of the parliamentary cavalry under Oliver Cromwell during the 17th-century English Civil War.
