Medieval Hundsgugel helmet, Churburg castle ca. 1395, 1.8 mm steel 1764000077

The Hundsgugel, which was very popular among knights and warriors throughout Europe until around 1420, is a variant of the late medieval basin hood (also called a kettle hood or Bascinet ). The characteristic visor design with a protruding "snout" (for added protection and better ventilation) gave this helmet its name. The hog's hood is another, albeit rare, term used to describe this type of helmet.

The helmet with visor offered here is a replica of an original piece from the 14th century (approx. 1395), which can now be admired in the Churburg armory ( Castel Coira ) in South Tyrol.

It is made of 1.8 mm steel and has a fully removable face shield, which is held securely in position with pins. The visor is equipped with a viewing slit that is approximately 15 cm long and 1 cm wide, and the numerous round recesses on the right side ensure the necessary air circulation. So-called Vervelles (small protruding rivets with holes) attached to the side and bottom edge of the helmet are used to attach a chain pillar (the source is not included in the scope of delivery).

The blackened interior is provided with an adjustable padded inlay made of cotton fabric, which is attached to the helmet rim with sturdy stitching. The 3mm thick brown leather chin strap is adjustable and fitted with a brass buckle.

This beautiful and wearable knight's helmet will make your transformation into a proud knight perfect. Of course, it is also an excellent decorative addition to every helmet collector's treasure trove.
