Inspired by early medieval European warfare, this nasal-style combat helmet reflects a helmet design widely used from the 10th to 12th centuries. The defining feature of this helmet is the prominent nose guard, designed to shield the center of the face while maintaining visibility during battle. Historically, this style of helmet offered such extensive facial coverage that warriors were often difficult to identify, adding a psychological advantage on the battlefield.
Crafted from 18 gauge mild steel, this helmet features a polished blackened finish that delivers both durability and an authentic medieval appearance. Reinforced steel plates are riveted around the lower edge, front, back, and sides, increasing structural strength and visual depth. The crown is finished with a decorative metal accent that conceals panel junctions while enhancing period aesthetics.
The interior is fitted with a leather suspension liner for improved comfort and stability, along with an adjustable leather chin strap secured by a brass buckle. Traditionally, helmets of this type were worn over a chainmail coif to protect the neck and throat, making this piece an excellent choice for reenactment, stage combat, costume display, or collectors of medieval arms and armor.
