oh... I have.... I've even been smacked upside the head buy it....hmm.. maybee I should have been paying more attention to his sword than his helmet

D Sebastian owns it, it was mine for a short time during its construction.
I may put one together for myself at some point though

Actually, there was a theft in the early 15th century recorded, and it is my understanding that this gilt latten chapel de fer dissapeared them. It is recorded in one inventory, and then missing two years later.

The thieves actually even tried to scrape off the gilding, and may have smashed it in frustration when they found that most of what they took to be solid precious metals were actually heavily gilded or silvered.

That lines up with my first theory pretty well. Thanks for the info.

My favorite is the Norwegian style kettle hat.

I have always loved this kettle hat shaped like a bascinet.

I remember seeing this France, possibly in the Louvre isn't it? As I recall, it was originally part of a set of morions for a king's guard...

Not to discourage you but most of us mortals will never get to that skill level.

I don't have a picture of this helm.

About ten years ago or so, Alan Baudree made a custom set of a helm and a set of fur lined bazus for (at the time) King Gareth of Meridies.

The helm was a beautiful Sutton Hoo with the full plaque work and one really cool feature. The helm had black, recessed perforated metal, backed up with hidden bar grille across the openings in the mouth, eyes and beside the cheek plates. You had to get close to tell that the perf stuff was there, it was almost invisible.

The cool thing about the helm was that if the rest of the gear was right, the wearer could walk from the heavy field to the fencing field, and never have to change his helm.

And, because it was Alan, performing at the very, very top of his game, it was one of the most beautiful helms I have ever seen. The matching Bazus were just gravy.

I wish I had a pic.

Well if you guys like this salet, you'll love mine. It's a reproduction of this particular salet made by Patrick Thaden. And raised of course, none of that welded crap.

I'll post a separate thread with better pictures in a few days if you like.

Just one? This is a fantasy piece by James Arlen, but it's just the coolest helm ever, IMO.

This beauty at the Hermitage:

An intriguing survival of a highly decorated (but I'd say still quite functional) late 15th century/early 16th century helm.
Other greats, which I'll link to since I'm not allowed pictures:
This sallet/close helm of Philip I of Spain:

And that one kettle hat of Ferdinand of Aragon, which I forget where I found online.

Kaos · Post by **Kaos** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 3:36 pm

Now that's something I didn't know..
Found him and his website, just yet. I ordered the helmet last year without knowing this. I think I'll contact him about this..

Edit:
I looked Mart up and called him, to talk to him about it , and he has no problem of me having a replica of his helmet. Mine has some modifications anyway, but I'm relieved to know this. Pfeww..
I was a bit upset when you said that.
