The hundsgugel helmet variant developed from the late Middle Ages onwards. Bascinet, also known as bascinet until around 1420, the hundsgugel was the preferred helmet form among knights and nobler warriors. The distinctive design of the visor gave this helmet its name hundsgugel (=dog's hood/dog's head) and its wide distribution throughout central Europe.

The original of our fully battle-ready reproduction was probably made around 1400/1410 in Milan, Northern Italy, a bastion of the art of armory at that time. The helmet is made of 2mm thick steel plate, is hand-crafted, riveted and welded and, due to its robustness, guarantees good protection in display combat.

The helmet has a flip-up visor and two fold-out supports in the neck and chest area. The helmet also has a comfortable padded fabric insert and a leather chin strap.

The holes on the side of the lower edge of the helmet are used to attach a chain guard, as protection for the chest and shoulders. We have these chain guards in our range in different braid types, which can be found in the chain gear category.
