Gorgeous Anshelm Fluted SS Bascinet with x2 visors + mail

Post by Owyn »

I have a bombshell offer for you.

This helm is a gorgeous work of art. It's 14g stainless steel, crafted by Anshelm Arms.
Easily fits a 23.5" head, with some flex on either side of that size.

The helm includes an interchange setup and both a grill and closed-face visor.
There is a flat welded SS Knutt aventail already attached to vervailles.
The helm also has a cloth period-style padded liner stitched into place.
Chin strap is on the helm and ready to go. Both visors are also strapped.

Best of all? This helm has sadly never seen combat. I bought it several years ago with the intention of using it as my longterm main helm, but circumstances led to my being unable to get back into fighting, and that hasn't changed.

I'd like to see the helm go to a home where it will see regular use. It's too good a piece of gear to leave on a mantle forever.

The helm, visors, aventail, liner, strapping, etc. were all about $1600 when originally purchased.
I will let the entire kit go for $1200+ shipping.

A comparable helm ordered today would cost ~$2000 or so.

Can you give this wonderful fluted bascinet a good home?

Kevin... for the longest time, the only time I saw your email responses are when I searched for them.

I just sent you paypal, via your link.

So obviously, I bought this from Kevin, like him, never fought in it.

I'd like to get my funds out of it.

Any interest?
