Product Overview
This 13th-century medieval helmet is crafted from 18 gauge steel and features decorative brass detailing along with a soft cloth padded adjustable liner and leather tie straps. Designed as a historically inspired medieval helmet armor, it reflects the craftsmanship of European armor from this period.
This striking helm is worthy of King Ferdinand III of Castile and represents the style of many medieval helmets used across Europe during the 13th century. Modeled on an English manuscript circa 1250, held by the British Library (BL Royal 2 A XXII ‘Westminster Psalter’), it reflects authentic historical design.
Folio 220 of the manuscript shows a kneeling knight with a great helm held above his head, a form closely related to this style of half helm used during the transitional period of medieval armor development.
Made of 18 gauge steel, this helm is enhanced with decorative brass elements and includes a padded adjustable liner for comfort. Crafted by Windlass Steelcrafts, it combines historical reference with practical construction.
