Houndskull-kypärä

Houndskull bascinet helmet, circa 1390 AD, 1.6 mm

The Dog face helmet is a variation on the late medieval bascinet helmet. The houndskull was favored amoung knights and warriors until about 1420. The characteristic design of the visor gives the helmet its's name and to it's prevalence throughout central Europe. Our version is based on a milanese helmet from circa AD 1390.

It is made from riveted armour steel with brass ornamentation.

There is a moveable and removable visor as well as comfortable leather inlay with chin strap.
