Just wondering of a corrazina and a coburg style bascinet would work together period wise. Thanks for your input.

I should think they should if MyArmoury isn't mistaken.
While the style of the Coburg bascinet looks behind the times for latest fourteenth, MyArmoury.com gives it a
c. 1400-1410 date.More shots of the Coburg

Yes I looked at that myself but thought the helm looked a little dated for it.
Thanks
Adrian

Jolly Knight's site ventures a date of c. 1380. Probably because he thought he couldn't quite believe a date as late as 1400 -- eh, plausible.
Osprey's
German Medieval Armies 1300-1500 goes with the c. 1400 also -- secondary source, though.
Just to be different, another Ukraine maker shows us lots of different angles on his take on it, and dates the
Coburg at 1385. YMMV, maybe.
Reenactment MarketI was getting this kind of thing Googling "Coburg bascinet date" -- these were consistently in the 1380-1400 bracket.

Thanks Konstantin. I saw pretty much the same thing but thought it just looked earlier period. The second opinion is appreciated.
