Authentic Medieval Lobster Tail Helmet - 16 Gauge Steel with Padded Lining for LARP and Display

Authentic Medieval Lobster Tail Helmet - 16 Gauge Steel with Padded Lining for LARP and Display

Step into the era of pikemen and cavalry charges with this premium medieval lobster-tail helmet. Modeled after the 17th-century cavalry helmet, the "zischägge," this helmet protected soldiers during the European Wars of Religion and early modern conflicts.

Every detail has been carefully recreated: the segmented collar plates ("lobster tail") protect the neck and allow freedom of movement; the articulated cheek plates protect the sides of the face, allowing room to breathe and see clearly. This piece has an authentic weathered finish, subtle hammer marks, and an antique finish that gives it the appearance of original field-worn armor.

Inside, the helmet is lined with a thick, padded cotton suspension liner that cushions impacts and provides a comfortable fit during extended use. A sturdy leather chin strap with an adjustable buckle keeps the helmet secure during training, stage performance, or combat.

Whether you're fighting in a historical skirmish, adding to a museum collection, or creating a striking LARP ensemble, this helmet offers the perfect blend of period accuracy, protection, and display-worthy craftsmanship.
