German Gothic Sallet Helmet S. XV Steel 2 mm. The hand-forged sallet we offer here is based on a German example dating to ca. 1480-1490. It is made of 2mm thick steel and is therefore suitable for combat reenactment. The one-piece bowl features a projecting neck guard and a small ridge or ridge running along its apex. It is equipped with a face shield that is hinged with steel rivets and is lockable. When closed, the visor leaves approx. Eye slit 1–1.5 cm wide and 18 cm long with an extended lower lip, ensuring sufficient vision and ventilation. The blackened interior is fitted with a rivet-attached leather suspension liner, and the leather chin strap fastens with a brass buckle.
This fully wearable late medieval visored helmet will make your transformation into a noble knight seamless. Of course, it will also make a great decorative addition to any helmet collector's treasure room.
The helmet known as a sallet replaced the bascinet in the 15th century. By mid-century, it had become one of the most widely used combat helmets in all of Europe. This type of helmet existed in many forms and variations, from simple to elaborately elaborated, open or with a visor, with a more or less pronounced tail, etc., and was especially popular in Italy (Celata), Germany (Schaller), France ( salad) and England.
