The Armour Archive

After much harrassment and waiting for what seems to me a full year of torture I finally recieved my Klappvisier from Clang Armoury. Maybe I am being partial, but I believe this is the best one I have ever seen. I cannot begin to express how happy I am with this helmet. Believe it or not this is Marks first Klapper!!!! The visier is made totally from one piece hot raised no welding in this one. Its completely removable with the swiveling hinge on the front. Honestly the pics dont do it full justice. Gonna start on a linen liner and aventail this evening!

Wow Paul that helm looks really awesome!

sweeeeeeeeet

now that clang is done your bucket he can finally start on my german floating elbows......... heehehe whata pipe dream eh?


looks good man. now go order an aventail form forth and make it look perfect

That, good sir, is dead sexy. I have felt since my earliest experience, that few helms look as sinister as a klappvisor. This looks especially sweet as the occular are not open up to "sports gear" size, and still have that wicked quality. Beautiful piercework as well. You are a lucky man. Good work, as usual, Clang!

Ditto what Wolf said: Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

SCHWEEET!

I like the proportions of it. Mine is a lot smaller, which freaks out safety minded friends.

Any chance you'd be willing to share a closeup of the hinge attachment?

Cheers!

Just a note, for those viewing from places with content screened, your title not only keeps them from viewing your post, but also the whole Armour D&C page until this scrolls to page 2

Sorry I changed the title to see if it helps! Also thanks for all the cool replies!

Well I have not tried out many beers from other countries but our beer is not too bad. Come over for a event in the summer next year and find out.

You look kind of weird in that first picture, Paul. : \

It looks better on my Kettle!
