Some help with a new helmet please
Sir Hancz:
Hey guys, i'm back, and i'm looking for a new helmet, so some suggestions would be appreciated. I'm looking for a new pig face bascinet, typically one for under 400 or 300$. I want a bascinet that is very well made, has a detachable visor like most back then did, and one that was used during 1350-1450. Thanks, any suggestions would be appreciated, and as always, I appreciate your support immensely.

Could you try narrowing the era a bit more? Right now you're asking for suggestions for a good military rifle from somewhere between 1915 and 201, try to narrow it to a 30 or 20 year period.
Also, do you want it with a center hinge or a side pivot?
What are you going to use it for? That is, is there a thickness requirement?

Yes, my apologies for not narrowing it down any more than I did, maybe a bascinet used during the battle of agincourt 1415. I would like it to have a side pivot, as most of them usually did. The thickness does not matter to much, as I am just collecting armors. Thanks for helping me out!

Well, Marshal Historica makes an allright grand bascinet, which would've been the height of fashion during the Battle of Agincourt, alongside possible Kastenbrust kits and their proto-closehelms.
There's of course always different bascinets that aren't super new as well, but if you want something iconic, a grand bascinet from marshal Historica should fit your budget.

There should be a retailer somewhere in the US, otherwise, you've got something to look for.
