Where to begin? New Kit in the working..

[Sir Wolf]

man, i like that one too, who did you get it from?

[Sir James A]

A word of caution, the visor hinge pins must have a method of retaining them within the hinge.

VERY important point. Sir Nathan has lost visor pins before, I don't think during combat, but with what we do, it's possible and very dangerous.

[Sir Wolf]

what about spring hinged latches. easy to make and you can't lift the visor without pushing the button in

[Don Jorge]

Mine has a spring hinged latch to keep the visor down. Sir Wolf I think they are talking about the hinge to attach the visor to the helmet.

I ordered the helmet from an armorer from Ukraine I met on AA who worked with Jolly Knight to finish some of his work load. Dmitry Vasilchenko but he is best reached through the AA and his username is: Dietrich Vasil

Gareyth in theory if the bascinet is round enough or shaped with the Great Helm (one order) it should be totally doable! That system was very common in the early to mid 14th century. Do be advised that the Great Helm is going to look huge!

Dmitry I believe charges 300 for the visored bascinet and I paid 40 extra for the bargrill attachment. So for your system with a great helm you will probably be in the 500-600 range (I think including shipping) but only he can tell you really.

His english is sketchy but he understood what I wanted and delivered! Well...once I get it I guess he will have delivered

[Sir Jason Simonds]

So... I am definitely going to get a Pembridge style great helm for Faire purposes. For some stag  antlers on E-bay that I may get for Helm Decorations.

Now I just need to find a decently priced Pembridge Helm.

One down-side of this one, is that they copied the mail aventail from the museum piece, which was almost certainly added later, and not part of the original helm from the 14th century.

[Sir Jason Simonds]

Yeah, i was gonna pull off the mail part.

Looking at the pictures it looks like the whole thing is painted, i sent a message to them for some clarification as the description says blackened steel with brass accents.

[Sir Brian]

It most assuredly would need a liner of some type.

[Sir Jason Simonds]

Main thing is that it appears to be the correct shape for a Pembridge Great helm.

If it is just painted I am going to strip all the paint off, may even remove the 3 vertical strips and replace with real brass.
