Bascinet Helmet - Medieval Helmet

The first reference to a bascinet, was in the Italian city of Padua in 1281, being worn by infantry. It is believed that the bascinet evolved from the cervelliere, which was worn with a mail coif, as either the sole form of head protection or beneath a great helm.

This is a fully battle-ready, authentic replica of a helmet from approx. 1440 a.d. found in northern Italy. The original is displayed in the Wallace Collection in London.

This model of medieval helmet is compliant to SCA-standards.

This bascinet helmet design enabled the user to wear a gorget.
