Bascinet helmet without a visor

Bascinet is version of steel liners (under helmet). Approximately from the epoch of the Crusades, Western European chivalry mainly used topfhelm (Great Helm or pot helm) as the primary helmet  together with steel caps (skullcaps, also known as cervelliere) worn under it. Bascinet evolved from such skullcap into complete head protection with dome and visor of various design.

This visorless model is one of the very early bascinets. Face could be protected with padded camail and mail coif or aventail for protection of neck, shoulders and upper part of chest. You may order it separately in our store or choose it in options available for this item.
