Bascinet with German visor, medieval helmet, ca. 1370, 2mm steel
German Bascinet, medieval helmet with hinged visor, ca. 1370, steel
2 mm bascinet appeared in the early 14th century. It evolved from the so-called cervelliere or secret helmet (a simple skull hat) and remained a popular helmet until the 15th century throughout Central Europe.
The late Middle Ages, battle-ready helmet with visor that we offer here is a replica of an original bascinet from the 14th century (ca. 1370 AD) that is on display for people to admire at the German Historical Museum (Deutsches Historisches Museum or DHM) in Berlin, Germany.
It is made of 2mm steel and equipped with a riveted face shield that is hinged into a single point in the center of the eyebrow. Especially in the 14th century. Germany and northern Italy, this particular type of center-hinged visor has enjoyed great popularity. The visor has an eye slit approximately 16 cm long and 1 cm wide, as well as several round cutouts on the right side for proper ventilation. The sides and lower edge of the helmet bowl are studded with so-called vervelles that allow the addition of a chainmail, aventail or camail (not included).
The blacked-out interior is equipped with an adjustable lining made of thcik cotton fabric and attached to the edge of the bowl with sturdy stitches. The 2 mm thick leather chin strap is adjustable and closes with a brass buckle. The helmet is also equipped with another leather strap to secure the klappvisor when in the lowered position.
This slim and fully wearable knight helmet will make your transformation into a proud knight simply seamless. Of course, it will also make a great decorative addition to any helmet collector's treasure chamber.
