European Bascinet
The favored "War Helmet" of the 1300 and early 1400's!
During this time of transition from chainmail to plate armor,
the bascinet style helm has held its place in history. Inventory
of the "Duke of Gloucester's" effects drawn up in 1397
lists two bascinets for "war and jousts" and three helms
(like the froghouth) for jousts of "peace", implying
an actual favor of this rounded style bascinet for glancing off
blows during combat. Detailed with brass accents. Full size and
wearable.
