2 Helms for Sale=Riveted face sculpted helm and an Armet

[Douglas Pryor]

The Rivet helm : is made from 14ga mild steel all but for the face which is 12 ga mild steel. I used heat on the face so it would stretch evenly leaving the nose(furthest stretched point) still very thick. Its eyes are 1/2 inch wide and do not touch your face because of the slope I used coming down from the dome. The rest of the vent holes at their widest point is only 3/4. So very safe to fight in. The helm is fairly balanced and very comfortable with half inch padding. Will fit any medium to large sized head with 1/2 inch padding. Chin strap+padding is not included. This helm was a blast to make, I hope the buyer really enjoys getting many miles out of it.
The Armet : This helm was a little tricky-er for me. The whole helm was made from 12ga mild steel. The visor is hammered from a single piece (but ended up being sort, so I did need to weld on the last 2 inches leading up to the rivets) I hand made the hinges and the rivets. The hinges are 12ga too. The rivets I hand chiseled to look like skulls. The helm will fit comfortably a head size from 20-24inch with 1/2 padding. The eye slots are a 1/4 inch wide. The edges are all beveled and the glancing surfaces are all very nice. The chin strap/padding are not included.

Why is it that Art in steel like this, comes up on the archive only when I am broke?

Gorgeous work Sir.

[Douglas Pryor]

Thank you very much. Well ya never know, they might not sell for a while. Peoples tastes vary, and with things like these you have to really love the character already in the helm in order to buy it.

[Douglas Pryor]

If only that Armet was a Close Helm/Transitional Sallet.... ugh... so tempting!

[Douglas Pryor]

Haahaha yeah it's a little late to change it into a sallet:) But that's a good idea for my next piece. I like jumping between early century and late everyother helm.
