Overview
German Sallet - 16 Gauge Steel - Lord of Battles
This Sallet is crafted from 16 gauge steel; the visor can be raised and lowered and in both positions the visor can be held in position with pegs that can be pushed in and released lock the helm in position.The nape plates of the helm are riveted and have some articulated movement.
The interior of the helm is blackened and lined with an internal leather suspension that can be adjusted to fit the head. The helmet is fitted with an adjustable leather chinstrap with a brass buckle.
The Sallet replaced the Bascinet in most parts of Europe; it improves on the bascinet by improving protection to the face and neck. The Sallet is great for ventilation as it leaves a clear pathway to the underside of the nose and mouth. Often it was paired with a bevor to increase protection for the neck and lower face.
A number of surviving sallets from the German Principalities feature painted heraldry - or in more elaborate examples, a full grotesque and monstrous visage reminiscent of a demon in a Hieronymous Bosch artwork.

Often paired together
can’t get it to fit Seems like a nice enough helmet, except it doesn’t want me to be able to see. I can get it to a place where my eyes are in line with the hole, but since it’s back-heavy and the chinstrap is set really far back, it doesn’t take much before I have to look out under the faceplate rather than over it.
Loose hinge spring – otherwise perfect! This thing looks awesome, and is a lot lighter than I thought it’d be. That said, the bottom peg’s spring wasn’t curved enough to keep the visor locked in the downward position, which made it pop back up with every bump, which can be a problem if you wear a gorget and bevor.
A short term remedy I used for this was threading a thin ribbon between the nape plates and tied the spring down tightly, which seems to work for now.
Otherwise very happy with the aesthetic and quality, made ready for late medieval shenanigans.
