SLIGHT SECOND - English Great Helm - Half Scale

Please note: These helmets are FACTORY SECONDS. This may mean there is a slight blemish or rusting of the finish or that the accuracy of this helmet does not meet the stringent guidelines set out by the Royal Armouries e.g. the alignment of the rivets does not exactly match the position of the originals.

These helmets are high quality and are an absolute bargain at this price.

Comes packed in a brown, unbranded cardboard box.

Drawing upon the outstanding quality and range of the Royal Armouries collections, we are proud to present this range of fine quality replicas. At each stage of the process, from the initial selection to the last details of the prototypes, the Museum’s experts on armour and edged weapons have been personally involved.

These replicas are impressive in both their look and feel, accurately capturing the dimensions, materials and processes of the originals with tremendous attention to detail. The Royal Armouries is delighted that enthusiasts will now be able to enjoy these objects ‘at first hand’.

This mini replica is based on one of only three surviving English great helms for war and one of the last generation of such helms, which ceased to be worn in battle after the 1350s. Another, the Black Prince’s helm preserved at Canterbury Cathedral, still has its papier-mâché crest in the form of a hat surmounted by a lion.

English, mid-14th century.

Includes stand.
