This Sallet is crafted from 16 gauge steel; the visor can be raised and lowered and in both positions the visor can be held in position with pegs that can be pushed in and released lock the helm in position.The nape plates of the helm are riveted and have some articulated movement. The interior of the helm is blackened and lined with an internal leather suspension that can be adjusted to fit the head. The helmet is fitted with an adjustable leather chinstrap with a brass buckle. The Sallet replaced the Bascinet in most parts of Europe; it improves on the bascinet by improving protection to the face and neck. The Sallet is great for ventilation as it leaves a clear pathway to the underside of the nose and mouth. Often it was paired with a bevor to increase protection for the neck and lower face. A number of surviving sallets from the German Principalities feature painted heraldry - or in more elaborate examples, a full grotesque and monstrous visage reminiscent of a demon in a Hieronymous Bosch artwork.
