Close Helms

Close Helms were equally at home on the battlefield or the tilt yard. They were incredibly versatile helmets and represented one of the last styles of fully enclosed cavalry helmets to be worn on in battle. We offer one of the most comprehensive selections of medieval Close Helms for sale in the UK. Our range of helmets are constructed from 18 gauge steel and are great display pieces for the home or office. They are also great for LARP costume and theatrical use. Some of our Close Helms are based on original pieces that can be found in museums.

  • Armet with Gorget - 12 & 14 gauge

    Typical armets are made up of four pieces: a skull with a reinforced forehead, two cheek plates attached with hinges to the skull and a pointed visor. Cheek plates were closed by a pin and this was secured with a hook or metallic wire.

    As it was made almost in the exact shape of the neck and chin, it was necessary to develop a side opening system to allow the easy removal of this helmet.

    Inner Circumference: 64cm

    All dimensions are approximate and may vary from piece to piece.
