Italian aconite, ca. 1460, 1.6 mm steel
- Suitable for exhibition combat -

This replica of an Italian aconite is made from 1.6mm thick, hand-forged steel. The original is dated 1460. These helmets were not only very common in Italy, but also in Switzerland and Southern Germany, especially among foot troops.

The wide brim not only protects the head, but also the shoulders, chest and back from dangers coming from above, such as the hail of arrows from late medieval archers. The brim and the intersecting wavy steel bands are riveted to the helmet's bell. This consists of two parts that were welded together in the middle. Although the material thickness is only 1.6 mm, the helmet can definitely be described as combat-worthy due to its processing.

Includes a high quality padded leather insert and chin strap for a perfect fit.
