Historical accuracy and design inspiration

Klappvisor Bascinet - 14th Century Design

The Klappvisor Bascinet, popular in the Holy Roman Empire during the 14th century, was a versatile helmet that provided excellent facial protection. Despite becoming obsolete, some knights continued to wear it into the 15th century. The pivoting visor design allows for practical protection, while the leather strap and buckle system keeps it in place during combat.
