Medieval Italian Bellows Face Sallet 1.3mm




Are you looking for a versatile, BATTLE-READY, FULLY FUNCTIONAL helmet for your next combat? Directly inspired by a renaissance original from the Wallace Collection (London), recently re-dated circa 1500, our bellows face sallet proves to be a convenient helmet offering an interesting combination of excellent visibility and good protection.
 
This style of sallet is much longer than the classic German or Italian medieval sallet and was thus offering substantial protection to the neck and allowing the rider to use it without bevor if he wanted to. Historically, we thought that it was used by light and medium cavalry that needed a more convenient helmet than the heavy armet worn by the knights.
 
This helmet is HANDMADE from 16-gauge (1.3mm) mild steel lined with a comfortable and secure PADDED LINER. An approximate circumference of 68 cm makes it fit almost all head sizes from 58 to 62cm. Sturdy chin strap with a brass buckle closure keeps the helmet secure during battle.
 
Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
 
Weigth: appr. 3kg
Steel 1,6mm
