Description of the Product

This helmet is an authentic copy of a late medieval Gothic style Sallet. This helmet is hand-made from 2 mm steel and is battle-ready and fully usable in full contact re-enactment. This helmet combines authentic presentation and excellent security for combat practices.

Gothic-style armor was developed in the Holy Roman Empire (in the area of modern-day Germany) during the first half of the 15th century, mirroring Gothic architecture with its arches, sharp silhouettes and vertical lines. The grooves, curves, and ridges in the armor, in addition to decorativeness, provided structural stability, and shielded the wearer from arrows, swords and daggers deflecting blows away from their target. The name “gothic” originates in Italy during the Renaissance to describe the architectural art of the “barbarians” or Goths. This "barbarous German style" was used not only in buildings but also in armor.

The original helmet this is a replica of is dated to around 1480 AD, but helmets like this were common from approximately 1450–1500. Sallet helmets were commonly used all over late medieval Europe, but were most common in Germany.

Sallet helmets were often, but not always, used with separate bevors protecting the throat and chin. From medieval artwork we can see that knights and other heavily armored men-at-arms wore Sallets with bevors, while archers and other lighter armored infantry used these helmets often without bevors. The bevor is sold separately. The piece shown in product pictures is Bevor with Leather Strap 1450-1520, but you can naturally use this helmet with other bevors also.

Bought the metal Rotella shield here. It shipped to Italy in just a couple days perfectly packaged and without a single bump (impressive since it's a sheet metal item).

Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitÀ muistikirjan alkuperÀstÀ ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta kÀsityöstÀ. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. TÀydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!
