Period Helm question

[Hrolfr]

Other than a kettles and basinets, what other helms would be appropriate for a early to mid 14th C northern European/Scandinavian rig. Wisby is the tail end of the period I am looking for, and Norwegian, German, Prussian, Polish.

[Gerhard von Liebau]

Great helms from the early 14th century are among the most well-documented of the type, considering the existence of numerous surviving examples. But they'd likely only be worn by men-at-arms who intended to fight from horseback, so otherwise you might be stuck with early forms of bascinets, kettles or simple cervellies (essentially iron caps).

Do you have other portions of your early-fourteenth harness now, or is the headpiece the first bit?

Just deciding how I want to go, and the helm is the focal point. I would prefer a CoP (KÜSSNASH tutorial from Mad Matt) rather than a Globose or Corrizina. I have Mad Matt's tutorials on splinted legs, arms and greaves, and would prefer that route. I like the looks of soupcan knees and elbows.

If I remember correctly Onionpoint helms were more German, correct?

Correct, and about 50 years later.
