Medieval Sugar Loaf Helmet Crusader Knight helm 16 gauge

The sugarloaf is the natural evolution of the classic great helm of the knight. As the XIII century drew closer to its end the helm slowly adopted a more and more pointy top shape in order to better deflect the strikes coming from above during battle. The introduction of the new helmet represented a significant improvement over the older flat-top version, leading to its swift adoption by knights across Europe. Planning your next crusade?

This 16-gauge mild steel armor is handmade, battle-ready, and comfortable with its padded liner. It fits all with a circumference of 72cm and has a strong chin strap with a brass buckle to keep the helmet in place. The cross is made of genuine brass, not electroplated. Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
