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.

Description

The Burgonet or Sturmhaube (german) is the further development of the armet. Burgonets could have been made with the visor and worn by cavalry. Such helmets with visor were worn by the famous Ironsides of Cromwell.

The visor is removable and consists of 4 details. Upper grade could be extended or lowered for better protection, while the visor is closed. At the back part there is a plumage.

The helmet is fixed on the chin with authentic ties, not with the straps and buckle as usual.

This particular Sturmhaube was based on the development of our client Andreas Schmidt from Germany. Two of the helmets were the examples (images below). The visor is from the Karl V Strumhaube, which is located in museum in Vienna.

If there’s a wish, the helmet can be used in the fights with spotrs direction, but we wouldn’t advise it. Eventually, every helmet could be broken and the complicated visor locking system is fairly hard to repair. There are some more fitting helmets for sports. But regarding the beauty of this helmet is can be used in fantasy events, such as WarHammer  imperials.
