Description
The great helm or heaume, also called pot helm, bucket helm and barrel helm, is a helmet of the High Middle Ages which arose in the late twelfth century in the context of the Crusades and remained in use until the fourteenth century. The barreled style was used by knights in most European armies between about 1220 to 1350 AD and evolved into the frog-mouth helm to be primarily used during jousting contests.

We added holes on the visor for better vision and breathing. Holes near the ears are for better hearing. It will help you communicate with your allies during the fight. The helmet is made with electric welding instead of rivets. Such original decision for assembling will strengthen the construction at best. The helmet is usually made without polishing, which reduces the price and gives you an opportunity to paint it at your consideration.
