The morion helmet is a type of open-faced combat helmet originally from the Kingdom of Castile, in Spain.
It was used from the beginning 16th to early 17th centuries, usually having a flat brim and a crest from front to back.
Its introduction was contemporaneous with the exploration of North, Central and South America, and therefore in the period of colonization.
It was widely used by the Spanish, but thirty to forty years later was also common among foot soldiers of many other European nationalities.
The crest or comb on the top of the helmet was designed to strengthen it. In England, this helmet (also known as the pikeman's pot) is associated with the New Model Army, one of the first professional militaries and no more mercenaries.
The similarities in design of some English morions to Italian designs can be attributed to Italian armorers being contracted to produce helmets for the English army.

Inside the helmet there are strips of leather and string for maximum comfort. On the back of the helmet there is a hole, so you can insert your own medieval feathers.

Feathers have been used for centuries to adorn and enhance medieval armor and helmets. These delicate and beautiful accessories add a touch of elegance and style to the already imposing appearance of the helmet and the wearer.

All our helmets are suitable for historical re-enactment parades, exhibitions and buhurt (heavy combat), in the latter case it is necessary to choose the 2mm thickness.

These medieval helmets are produced in Italy by expert Italian blacksmiths and craftsmen, for generations we have passed down the art of producing helmets and armor, using the best raw materials.
