This helmet is handcrafted from 18-gauge mild steel for increased strength and durability. Its aged and antique finish, punctuated with light hammer marks, gives it a strikingly realistic battle-worn appearance.
The design of this helmet focuses on flexible protection:
- Segmented lobster tail neck guard for excellent freedom of movement.
- Articulated cheek plates to secure the face without restricting breathing.
- Distinctive segmented visor for ventilation and visibility.
A padded lining (sewn in sections) and an adjustable genuine leather chin strap ensure a secure and comfortable fit, even during long hours of wear.
