“Armet a Rondolle” Etched Helmet

Popular in Central Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries, the Armet is one of the first helmets to completely enclose the head. This style of helmet differs from a close helm (which has a single pivot point) by hinging at the cheeks. To protect the close at the back this style of helmet also features a rondel at the base of the neck.

Our Armet is quite classically 15th-century, and would look right at home on a knight or other combatant. It provides decent visibility for a helmet of this kind with an eye-slit as well as carefully placed holes in the visor. The visor is held closed near the cheek with a robust hook, and a metal toggle at the bottom holds it shut at the neck. A push-button system on the brow is also used to lock the visor up or down. Overall, we’ve given you as many fail-safes as possible to ensure the helmet is securely closed and ready for combat.
