This is an excellent reproduction of a 11-12th c helmet commonly thought of as a crusader helmet but it was actually in use throughout northern europe. Made of 18ga steel with heavy brass trim. This reproduction is made of mild steel and will fit most adults. A padded liner or cap inside the helmet is recommended for fit and comfort. During the crusades, life could be very dangerous. To cope with this danger, armor and weapons evolved. This was before the advent of the visor, so knights would typically wear one larger helmet over a bascinet (or open faced helmet). Then, if battle got too hot, they could take off the larger helmet. This is a representation of one of those larger helmets. A great helm or barrel helmet, as they are called, would protect the wearer from many different weapons. You are sure to be safe in our excellently reproduced Crusader Helmet as well.
