This bascinet really does not belong here, since it is of late 14th century make. Still, it is the most perfectly preserved helmet of the time that I have ever seen, and with great difficulty video taped..because the guards were really on my back.....LOLLLl

Anyway, I was absolutely blown away by the fine workmanship, the precision, and the finish , which is nowhere to be found again. INCREDIBLE...........

This helmet is part of a fantastic collection at: Veste Coburg/Germany
