Visored Sallet with articulated tail - 15th century

Sallet (fr. "Salade) is type of medieval helmet that has appeared in Italy and replaced bascinet. Such battle helmet was popular among soldiers, because it was more open and provided wider visibility, than bascinets did. Sallets were widespread among knighthood in the late XIV – early XVI centuries.

Knights were usually using salads with small visor; crossbowmen and archers were wearing open-faced helms. Often, highly decorated sallets were used for parades.

Sallet gained the most popularity in Germany and become a main element of famous Gothic full-plate armor.

This model of German Sallet of the end of XV century has typical prolonged tail, covering the neck. Movable visor with ocular is fixed with rivets to the dome. Sallet is fastened under the chin with leather belt and buckle. Articulated segmented tail protects back of the neck.
