Product Overview
The Early Crusader Half Helm reflects a pivotal moment in medieval armor history—when protection evolved from open helms toward the imposing great helm worn by crusading knights.
Handcrafted from 18-gauge steel, this helmet features a distinctive full faceplate with a protruding nasal, narrow eye slits for visibility, and decorative cross cut-outs that echo early crusader symbolism. The half-barrel construction offers solid facial protection while maintaining the transitional design that defined early 12th-century warfare.
Designed to be worn over an arming cap, the interior is fitted with an adjustable, padded cotton canvas liner that enhances comfort and stability. Leather chin straps allow the helmet to be securely tied in place, ensuring a snug and reliable fit during movement.
Whether paired with chainmail and surcoat for historical accuracy or used as a striking centerpiece for costume and display, this steel knight’s helm delivers presence and authenticity. Ideal for medieval reenactment, Renaissance fairs, LARP, stage performance, or collection display, it stands as a faithful representation of early crusader armor.
Crafted by Noble Armoury, this helm balances rugged construction with period-correct detailing, making it a strong addition to any medieval armor set.
