Fantasy theme gave a significant push for hobbys in one way or another connected with fencing and armor developing. Of course we can not ingnore this direction. In general, if you want to collect the most realistic fantasy armor - we are at your service! Especially since our armor has a nice design and you can create the necessary image with it.

Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop mittens, elbows, knees, etc specially for this direction. Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop specially for this discipline mittens, elbows, knees, etc. This direction of fencing is based on medieval fencing books (training books) and special very flexible and light swords are used here.

In fighting stylization, we first of all provide protection and convenience. When developing such armor, we combine the existing elements and parts of the medieval armor existing separately, but in close regions and time frames.

In historical reconstruction, we try to maximally repeat the geometry of the example artifact. The difficulty is that often both the example and the artifact are located far from us. Therefore, such work requires considerable skill.

The shape of this great bascinet was changed in the process of the making according to client’s request. For this type of helmet we can make some additional visors, for example, like the great bascinet “Sailsbury” or the grate one for good vision in the foot fight. The one that comes standard with the helmet is good for the jousting, but not so good for the foot fight.

The original which the helmet is based on was made in Italy for export to France. It has Missalia’s stamp.

Great Bascinet is the modern version of the common bascinet. It first appeared in 15th century and it had additional protection in the form of a steel plate on the front part of the helmet. It firstly was completed by the sharp visor like hundsgugel. By the middle of the of 15th century the shape of the great bascinet was changed – it became more round, the neck protection was attached to the breastplate, the visor obtained the half-spherical shape with many holes, sometimes without vision cutouts. Great bascinet was popular in Germany, where it was in the group of German Milanese armor and export Milanese armor. It came out of use at the end of the 15th cent. The main difference of the late great bascinets from armets – unmovable neck protection and sharp skull of the bascinet, also removable neck protection and spherical skull of the armets.
