12th Century Brass Crusader Great Helmet – Polished 18-Gauge Steel with Brass Cross

Step into the age of holy wars and knightly valor with this authentic Crusader-style Great Helmet. Crafted from 18-gauge steel and finished with a brilliant polish, this helmet calls back to the early 12th century—an era when the cross led men into battle.

The design features the iconic cylindrical form and narrow eye slits typical of the Crusader period, offering both visual intimidation and practical protection. The front boasts a bold, hand-riveted brass cross, a detail rich in symbolism and history. This centerpiece is not merely decorative—it reflects the unwavering faith of the warriors who once rode under banners of righteousness.

A series of breathing holes along the lower half of the helm ensures airflow and makes the helmet more wearable than its historical counterparts. With an internal circumference of approximately 72 cm, it accommodates most head sizes comfortably when worn with proper padding.

A perfect representation of medieval warfare, this helmet pairs beautifully with mail coifs, padded arming caps, or full suits of chainmail for a complete knightly ensemble.

IDEAL FOR:
• Historical display and museum-quality collections
• Medieval festivals and fairs
• Stage, film, and theatrical costumes
• Sword training and combat practice (with proper padding)
• Collectors of Crusader and knight armor replicas

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• Wipe gently with a dry cloth after use
• Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust (especially around brass fixtures)
• Store in a cool, dry environment away from humidity
• Use a padded liner or arming cap for comfort and helmet preservation during wear
