Product Details
The main weakness of the standard Norman helmet and similar type of helmets was that most of the face as well of the sides of the head were exposed. Something that the Muslim Horse Archers exploited to deadly effect during the Crusades. This saw the development of a face plate that eventally evolved to wrap around the entire head to become the medieval Great Helm.
The Lord of Battles Post Helm with Face Guard is an early adaptation of the open faced style helmets like the Norman helmet to include a face plate.
Like all the other Lord of Battles helmets that we recommend the overall construction and craftsmanship of this helmet is outstanding.
It can be made with either a 64cm or 68cm forehead circumference.
A leather liner is provided and this can be adjusted so the helmet can comfortably fit most head shapes.
A padded arming cap should be worn with this helmet and for additional protection around the base of the neck and shoulders a maille standard (collar) can be worn over the arming cap.
Price includes GST and tracked postage within New Zealand.
