2mm STAINLESS STEEL GREAT HELM - £189 ONO



As my reenactment group is 15th century, and this is a 13th century helmet, it pains me to say that I have to sell this beautiful limited editon great helmet.

It was made commemoratively by John Hughes for the 700th annivesary of the Battle of Bannockburn. It is nice and tough; 2mm and stainless steel so it will not rust. It's got a great field of view and is reasonably light.

I'm looking for £189 + p&p but I will consider offers.

Thanks for reading this! I hope one of you likes it :)

If you would like more photos, please say so below.

Looks solid but I do not like the design. Oculars look confining in view.

That's what I thought before bought it, but I was pleasantly surprised. When you look straight ahead your vision narrows anyway, and when you look to the sides the slits widen so you can see surprisingly well.

Those cross straps are very very odd. Is their a pic of the original it's based on? What are it's dimensions?

I haven't got a picture, but they are made that way to resemble the Scottish Flag.
