"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I saw that on the archive, that is awesome!  That's a 'great' bascinet, oh I crack myself up!  But seriously, that really is a wonderful reproduction of a neglected style of bascinet.

Smooth bascinet visors like that are more of an early 15th century thing, like Agincourt era, 1415ish
