A Note on History: The Nuremberg Bascinet
The bascinet, originating in the early 14th century, evolved into one of the most popular knightly helmets. The version with the pointed hounskull visor, often associated with the German city of Nuremberg—a renowned center for armor production—was designed for maximum protection.
The curved face deflected arrows and weapon points away from the wearer, while the suspended chainmail aventail protected the neck and shoulders without sacrificing mobility. Owning this helmet is owning a symbol of medieval innovation and warfare.
