Klappvisor Bascinet

Are you looking for a versatile, FULLY FUNCTIONAL helmet for your next battle? Directly inspired by 14th-century sources, this BATTLE READY Medieval Klappvisor Bascinet will make an excellent choice for that. Klappvisor basinet was especially popular in the Holy Roman Empire (modern-day Germany) during the 14th century. Despite being outdated, some knights wore Klappvisor bassinets into the 15th century, as evidenced. Pair it with one of our aventails (not included) for the best protection and style.

Handmade from 16 gauge MILD STEEL, this helmet features a high-quality padded liner that absorbs shock, offers comfort, and aligns the eyes with the eye slit. The inner circumference of the helmet is about 68 cm (without liner), which makes it ideal to fit all (65 cm with liner). The height is about 27 cm, the base (with the visor fully enclosed) is about (24.5×17.2) cm and the eye slits are about 9.3 cm long and 1 cm wide. The (28.5×32.5) cm visor is attached by a brow-mounted pivot. A leather strap-and-buckle system holds the visor in place while in combat.

Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
