True, but the helm looks mostly like a bascinet, just with the more sugarloaf-like faceplate. It's almost a transitional design incorporating elements of a bascinet and a sugarloaf. So, it might not be too bad. But, as we said, it's expensive. No easy solution for me!

I was just looking at this guy's site:

He has some pretty reasonable prices for some really nice 14th century helmets, many of which you could fight in.

Those do look like some good options. Very cool.

One of the charts shows great helms still being in use throughout the 14th C.
According to the chart, the bascinets start to appear in the 1310s, but never completely edge out the great helms until the end of the century. That's cool to know. Maybe I just need more of a round-top great helm if I don't settle on a bascinet.
