Medieval saucer hood with folding visor, 1.6mm steel



The cymbal bell, also called a kettle hood or bascinet , was developed in the early 14th century from the so-called brain hood and was in use until the 15th century, widespread throughout Central Europe.



The reconstruction of a late medieval helmet offered here was made of 1.6 mm (16 gauge) steel and then polished. The helmet has a movable, fully removable visor, which is held securely in position by pins and chains. The folding visor is equipped with a rectangular viewing slit that is approximately 2 to 2.5 cm wide and the numerous round slits in the lower half ensure the necessary air circulation.



Inside there is a fine leather inlay attached to the helmet hood with rivets. The chin strap, made of 2 mm thick black leather, is fitted with a steel buckle.
