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.

Bascinet “Lorenzo” – is a reconstruction of the most widespread European helmet. Such helmets were most oftenly used in the medieval Italy. The “hundsgugel” (“hound’s hood”) visor did a really good job resisting frontal spearing, it also provided secure protection of the face against arrows all thanks to a pointy visor. There is the theory that the knight would put the visor down while defending himself from arrows or while attacking on the horse. But when it came to close fight he would put the visor up. Probably that is the reason there are no locking system which prevent unwanted visor rising on the original.

There is an option to make the bascinet one-piece forged. It would cost a little more as it takes more time.

Also please pay attention that the medieval bascinet was not equipped with chin straps. Also all of these helmets have vervelles for attaching an aventail. So if you make a rconstruction you should add a chainmail to the helmet.
