14 gauge steel houndskull bascinet with vervelles and a side-pin mounted removable faceplate. The characteristically pointed visor has led current armour students to call this type of helmet a houndskull bascinet (from "hundsgugel" meaning hound's hood) or pigface bascinet, but Claude Blair tells us that in contemporary literature they were simply called visored bascinets. The tall conical bascinet fitted with the conical houndskull visor was the most common form of the visored bascinet. This style is circa the late 1300's, and is the primary style of helmet worn with transitional harness during the Hundred Years' War. Fully wearable, with leather liner. The GDFB aventail is designed to fit this helmet. Made by Get Dressed For Battle.
