Jousting Helms c.1520

Jousting Helm c.1520

Jousting Helm. English or Flemish, c.1520
This form of helm, which seems to have been called a bascinet in England, could be converted into a great bascinet for tourney or foot combat.
Note: The holes on the brow for the attachment of the missing volant-piece.
