Topfhelm Great Helm - 20 Gauge
Make Your Own Medieval
Make your own Medieval experience and complete your 13th-century Medieval armour harness with this Topfhelm. The Topfhelm also called a pot helm or bucket helm is a type of great helm. The great helm developed during the late 12th century during the crusades and remained in use until the 14th century. The great helm offered full face protection but reduced visibility and ventilation compared to earlier nasal and spangenhelms. Over time the great helm developed into the sugarloaf helmet which incorporated more curvature to better deflect blows.
This helmet is inspired by a helm held by the Museum fur Deutsche Geschichte Berlin. Which was excavated from Deerberg at Bubach (Schlossberg Dargen) in the Provence of Pomerania.
Securely constructed from from steel rivets and made from 20 gauge steel this helm comes complete with an adjustable leather liner and chin strap with solid brass buckle.
