Combat Barbutte Helmet - 14g Mild, Level I or II finish This is our first helmet designed specifically for SCA combat that is available as a kit. After seeing several flat plate kits, which are practically worthless for a beginning armourer, I decided to make a 3D kit. The kit contains the three 14g pieces, already fully shaped. You have to planish (smooth) the plates and rivet them together. The hard work of shaping the helmet halves is already done. There is also an option to order the bar set, ends already forged. The bar set also includes welding the bar overlaps after you have riveted them on. (Two restrictions to this welding offer - you have to be able to get the helmet back to us, plus the bars have to be correctly aligned for welding, ie touching where they cross and butt.) This helmet is a simplified version of our standard late period barbutte. Helmet characteristics: Kit contents (Pics of welded finished versions at very bottom.) |
