Product description
This sallet is based on 16th century originals. The fact that this type of helmet was used for over a 100 years proves its popularity. Helmets like this were often mass produced, where many helmets had to be made in just a short time. The neck protection gave the wearer a perfect protection from projectiles. The visor provided a perfect field of view, in combination with an optimal face protection.
This type of sallet was worn by both infantry and cavalry. This helmet is made of 1 mm thick steel.

Maintenance & care
Avoid rust by frequently greasing your armor. You can easily remove rust with black sandpaper
This item is handmade in a limited amount. Each item is unique. Finish and sizes can slightly vary.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
