An invincible chivalrous sword remains firmly attached to its mesh-clad fist, and its flag floats in the wind as its squire buckles its rugged 13th-century Crusader Knight helmet into battle. The perforated front plate facilitates ventilation while fighting your enemy and protects you from arrows raining down on you and your fellow knights, awaiting order to attack!
In the 12th century, the knights quickly realized that with the new double-boom technique becoming more widespread, having additional protection for the face was a must, as most spear blows going over the shield would instantly kill a rider wearing the old nasal helmet style. At first, they added a front plate to provide additional protection against all attacks from the front, proving remarkably effective against enemy archers and mounted opponents. (Later, more plates were added to cover the back of the neck and fully wrap the head: the pot helmet/large helmet was born. But that's another story.)
It is expertly handmade from sturdy 16 gauge soft steel and comes with a reinforced front plate as well as its historic counterjust. Functioning as a shock absorber, your PADDED LINER makes you more comfortable to wear and ensures your eyes are always at the right time to face the eye slit. Directly inspired by an original seal from the British Museum, we take the liberty of slightly modifying its ventilation holes to make it the perfect cross-helmet! A circumference of approx. 68 cm makes almost all head sizes fit.
