Product description
The helmet is a replica of one dating from around 1375, discovered in the tomb of the Rieter von Kornburg und Kalbensteinberg family in Nuremberg. The original is housed in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in the same city and was likely produced there. During the early 14th century, both classic great helms and conical great helms were employed in parallel. This type remained in use until the second half of the 14th century, and the conical shape at the top of the helmet permits blows to the head to be deflected.
The helmet is constructed from 1.6 mm thick steel, with parts connected by brass rivets. It features an aventail of tightly closed rings, an adjustable liner, and a chin strap with an authentic buckle. The helmet fits a head circumference of 62 cm, measures 22.5 cm front to back, 19 cm ear to ear, and weighs approximately 3.55 kg.
