Product description
This bascinet is based on several originals such as a painting from 1407-1408 by Spinello Aretino, the fresco in the Affresco camera Pinta in Spoleto, Italy, and the manuscript "La prima deca" by Tito Livio, dated around 1373, which can be found today is in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan. This bascinet has vervelles on the bottom edge to which a chain mail collar can be attached. The maximum inner circumference is 68 cm, excluding helmet insert. This helmet is equipped with an inlay and chin strap. If you want to wear extra padding, measure your head circumference while wearing it. The padded arming cap already attached to the inside of the helmet is usually sufficient. To create more space in the helmet, the helmet insert can be removed.
