description

Here is a beautifully crafted stylisation based on the Pothelm type 2, an early crusade-era pot helmet, first half of the 13th centurymodest but cool.

Its name in English is a literal translation of the German name tophelm and, as you can easily guess, means helmet-pot. 

This enchanting helmet was widespread in Western Europe from the fourth quarter of the XIIth century to the mid-XIIIth century. And in some places even longer, because for the poor knights to dress up in the armor of the great-grandfather was the order of the day.

This helmet evolved from the simplest early helmet. Agree, if the guys have guessed from a simple hat to move in the direction of an iron hat, then to protect the nose and eyes with a nose guard and half-mask, the idea to extend the nose guard on the whole lower half of the face was just lying on the surface. This kind of ingenuity was especially facilitated by the increased role of the ramming lance. After all, when a lance hit to the shield slips and a huge wooden piece of wood with metal on its end flies in the face, you want the face to be better protected than a thin strip of steel on the nose. So master armorers, so as not to lose customers, sought new and creative armor designs.

The helmet also expanded somewhat in volume. Indeed, an increase in internal volume allowed for the use of a quilted liner and eliminated contact between the helmet walls and the wearer's head, which could not but please the latter.

The shape of the helmet changed from conical to cylindrical. The former half-mask was solved drastically - in the cylinder there were simply holes for the eyes and a lot of small holes below for ventilation. And on the top of it they just riveted a metal circle. That is how we got the pothelm, affectionately known amongst re-enactors as the bucket.

Unfortunately, no artifacts of such helmets have survived. There is only a dubious exhibit from the Netherlands Army Museum in Delft (moved to Susterberg in 2013).

                        

However, images of similar helmets have been widely known since the late XIIth century (in a manuscript of the Aeneid c. 1200, on the rich decoration of an altar from the cathedral in Aachen).

                                  

          

Steel Mastery website presents 3 pothelms. One of the first type - Great Helm (topfhelm) and two of the second type: the Later faceguard Great Helm and our handsome one - the Great Helm of the first half of the 13th century.

I purchased this helm for use in jousting as I portray a templar knight during our shows at Renaissance Festivals. After being put through a rather rigorous run this year, it has certainly proved worth the purchase. I only needed a slight variation on the original design's eyes, which the smiths accommodated wonderfully. I have taken several lances, swords, and even had a wooden Viking shield thrown Captain America style into my head and I didn't feel a thing; and the helm has only been lightly buffeted! The one complaint I could give was that the pin for the buckle was lost fairly early, but with addition of a thin layer of foam padding coupled with the amazing gambeson coif provided, I don't even notice it. I would certainly recommend this product to any that might be in need of a great helm.
