Where to find knight helmets and the like?

[LtPinkerton]

Figured this would be the best place to post this.

Looking for any information on replica knight helmets and Roman era helmets. Have an amazing idea for a secret Santa gift but unfortunately can’t find reputable places to get these online.


A lot of places don’t have any reviews and I don’t want to purchase something and it be ****. Just looking for recommendations on vendors you all use.

What is your budget? That would save a lot of guesswork.

 

[LtPinkerton]

Anything under $500 for something that will be work once and sit on someone’s shelf.

I don't know if they sell, but I used to rent from Costume Armour for the opera and they were awesome. Costume Armour

Worth a shout - they may have a lead for you if they don't sell. Museum Replicas in Georgia is also good for all sorts of items and accessories

You could try Kult Of Athena (US) or Armae (France).

I second Kult of Athena, lot of good products on their site. I also recommend watching a few videos from both Matt Easton and his Scholagladiatoria channel and The Metatron. Both are very knowledgeable on this topic and have done reviews of well made, historically accurate Medieval European and Roman helmets and where to get them. In general though, I'd avoid anything that's made in India, chances are it's going to be mass produced, not particularly historically accurate, likely won't fit well, and made from thin metal.

There are a LOT of armorers in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). They make helms that are fully functional, made of 14 to 18 gauge steel, and they fit within your budget.

Are you still looking? I have about 7 or 8 available...full steel like those shown above...various styles from Roman to Norman to Templar, etc. If you're still interested I'll post pics of them.
