    This Bascinet with an extensive hinged visor is crafted from thick 14 gauge steel. The visor swivels easily on its rivets and can be locked and secured into its down position with an integrated pressure pin. From this position the helmet is unlocked by pushing on a longer pin-button to release the catch. If desired the entire visor can be dis-attached from the helmet by removing the helmet pins. Please note that the visor does not stay upright on its own without modification.

    The interior of the helmet is blackened and fitted with a padded suspension liner of durable cotton which can be adjusted to modify the fit of the helmet. This liner is secured to the helmet by stitching it into its edge. The helmet edge is lined with vervelle eyelets which can be used to fasten your own aventail or mail collar to the helmet for an entirely complete defense of the head, neck and even the collar. A metal plate on the back of the helmet will readily accommodate your own helmet plume.

    A mainstay of the 14th and the first half of the 15th century, the versatile Bascinet was a closely fitted helmet and its curved surfaces ably deflected and redirected the force of a blow. Like the example shown here, many later versions were fitted with encompassing face visors to create an extensive defense for the entirety of the head.
