The Fallschirmjäger was formed in 1935 and it became apparent that they would require different kit to that of the regular infantry. The existing M1935 "Stahlhelm" was adapted by removing the projecting visor and flared rim to become the M1938 "Fallschirmhelm". The modified shell incorporated a more substantial leather liner and chin strap than that of regular infantry helmet and afforded a greater level of protection that was required by airborne assault troops.

This replica is a faithful copy of an original and is constructed from 18 gauge steel with adjustable leather liner and chin strap.

The Kettle Hat was favoured by the English infantryman and man at arms throughout the medieval period and was popular during the 100 Years War. It was simple to manufacture and offered good protection against projectiles. This design was so effective that it came back into service with the British military in World War 1 and 2. The name derives from the Germanic word “cetel” or “cietel” alluding to its deep cauldron like shape. It was also known as a “war hat” and “Chapel-de-fer” (hat of iron).

Our Kettle Hat is constructed from 18 gauge steel and features and adjustable leather liner and chin strap. Not recommended for contact re-enactment but great for LARP, theatre or as a display piece.

The Norman "Nasal" Helmet was based on earlier Viking Helmet designs and could be worn over a chainmail coif or with chainmail aventail to protect the neck. The nasal bar was designed to protect the face but meant that Knights were often unrecognisable. The famous Bayeux Tapestry shows William the Conqueror tipping his helmet back to reveal his face and prove to his soldiers that he was still alive!
