Product description
This helmet appeared on the battlefield in its earliest forms from the 13th century onwards. It turned out to be a winning design that was used for almost three centuries. It has a terrifying fixed sight that enhances the intimidating appearance of an approaching knight. This large helmet is inspired by a statue from Olite Cathedral, dating from the mid-13th century. These types of helmets were mostly seen in the mid-13th century to the early 14th century, as can be seen in some documents such as the Codex Manesse, the Maziejowsky Bible or the Cantigas. The Gregory Crusader Helmet is intricately designed and generously sized to comfortably accommodate an additional padded coif underneath. Inspired by 13th-century helmets, it impresses with fine brass fittings and decorative rivets.

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.
