the chevalire or lil hidden helm. i wanted to see if it would fit over my coif and still work under my great helmet.
-
I have been considering getting it actually cause it looks light enough to not be too heavy and is still period as a knightly helm. But for now I will stick to my kettle helm as I got proof now that the kettle helm was used by German Knights.
-
I know the one you're talking about... that 'secret' helm; more like a skullcap. I don't have one, otherwise I'd send it to you to try it out.
-
Not sure if it'll help, but here's a picture of mine:

LOL
Cunningly wrought, Sir James...it even looks like human hair!
-
I guess better to have one that's invisible, than to have one that is four feet wide, like the guy in grey kneeling on the right side of the image. :)
-
Huh. I thought that was just a really wide-brimmed kettle hat he was wearing! lol

Hidden is hidden, right? :D
-
You guys are hilarious! I'm actually in the picture. I am wearing a full set of armour assembled from the GDFB "hidden" helm.
-
That your new medieval ninja armor, Sir Nathan? ;)
-

Let me know if you want any others.
-
heyyyy... can u bring this today? i want to try it on lol..... still going back n forth on what to get.
-
I wanna try that helm, just not sure if it's too thick and heavy like the other GDFB helms.
-
lol. can u do something for me? undo the liner inside and see how deep it sits on your head? and take a pic?
-
Didn't see this post until after, or I would have brought it. The liner is riveted in, so I can't remove it, but I can loosen it all the way and take a couple pictures.

ya thats what i mean lol.

I just got home 10 minutes ago, haven't been home since helping Sir Edward move. Plus, I'll totally do it now, since I've met you and I can confirm you're not one of Sir Edward's alter egos, as I saw you and him at the same time. Of course, my noggin probably isn't exactly the same as yours, so you should come to VARF rehearsals next weekend and try it on yourself. ;)

Sir Wolf,
My GDFB cervellier is very light and works well over arming coif and maile coif, I have not got a great helm big enough to fit over it yet but would like to get a well made Pembridge helm. We also use the secret under chaperone hats etc etc.
Sir James, I too have considered having a steel plate rivited to my scull under my scalp, but as I don't have enough hair, I feel the rivets may show and loot rather unsightly.... What would you suggest??

Highly recommend a Pembridge style Great helm Lord de Rodes. It's all I wear most of the time. :) :)

A mantle and torse should cover the rivets nicely.

look at the Osprey English Knight book. 1300-1400 you see a "secret helmet" with lil shield looking pieces riveted around the edge on a 1330s helmet. you even see it in the later one as well. i think there is also one like it under the black prince helmet? its a thought as to what i was thinking if i had a secret gdfb helm
