Large Pembridge helmet, ca. 1370, 2mm steel
- Suitable for exhibition fights -

This replica is inspired by Sir Richard Pembridge's helmet. The original is dated around 1370 and is now in the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh.

The so-called great helmets (in English large helmets ) were often worn over a smaller, lighter helmet (e.g. brain caps). They were widespread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. Numerous contemporary illustrations (miniatures) and finds from Germany, Flanders, England, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, etc. prove the popularity of this type of helmet. These helmets were used, among other things, at the Battle of Crécy (1346) and Poitiers (1356).

The helmet has a comfortable leather lining and a chin strap with brass buckle.
