For my second piece from Armstreet, impeccable, the build quality is incredible and the feel is quite solid. Before I start I should mention I was accidentally made and sent the Kings Guard model of this bascinet even though I did order this model, however, I was offered the possibility to send it back and get this model made (I decided against it as it was kind of an upgrade), thank you very much for the communication. I do have three pieces of feedback however, firstly, this could have been my mistake but with the padding being thick foam sheets it is quite a squeeze to fit my head in (even though I did order made to measure and am fairly sure I got measurements right), I am hoping though the more I wear it the more comfortable it gets. Secondly, the vervailles to hold the aventail on are quite small (they are just small twisted pieces of wire) which was a little unexpected yet is totally okay as that is just a personal opinion kind of thing. For the third point, this is also just a personal opinion kind of thing but the liner (which is made with incredible quality I should add) is riveted on rather than sewn into the helmet, this makes me think further down the line once I need to clean the liner how easy it will be but I will come to that obstacle when I reach it. I was extremely surprised and grateful by the speed the helmet came to me, arriving within 2 months of order.
A massive, powerful helmet with comfy solid padding. This Houndskull is fitting me perfectly fine, the armorsmiths nailed it. The only concern I *had* was getting visor locked when lowering it because some rings of aventail block the visor but it's still doable, just a little harder, not much of a problem. The customer support did an excellent job at answering my questions and providing all the information I needed, thank you Elena! In case anyone else is looking for this helmet, here, I made few quick photos, it's satin polish.
Incredible helmet-a work of art and fully functional!!! Outstanding helmet. Much, much better than picture. Great crafters. Thanks !!
Thank you, James!
Would a padded arming coif be necessary for this helmet?
The helmet has padding already, but you may wear it with arming coif if you wish.
is the pig face visor only available for this helmet only?
Dear Matthew, it is also availbale on the King's Guard bascinet. Please let us know which helmet you would like to have with this visor so we could check with our production team if it is possible.
Could this helmet be made with mild steel on request?
Hi Isaac! Yes, it is possible.
Could I get this without the bargill visor?
Yes, bascinet w/o bargrill visor costs $110 less. Please email us at contact@armstreet.com to get the discount.
could the houndskull helm be etched the same way as the helm worn in the picture of the paladin knight armor set?
This helmet cannot be made with Paladin-style etching, sorry.
Can I get this with the visor shown and the removable bargrill visor but without chainmail drape? I have my own riveted chainmail drape. If yes, how much would it cost.
You'll save $80 on stainless aventail.
Hi, This is Necosa Rock again I have another question, pertaningr to the armor I want. I was wondering if this Store — Medieval armor — Medieval Heavy Bascinet Helm Hounskull Armor Sca 14 Ga is one of the helmets I could use to replace the helmet for this suit of armor Store — Medieval armor — Medieval Knight Amor Sca Functional Suit and also... Does the chainmail on the helmet can it go under or over the armor? Thank You Again, Necosa Rock
Change on Hounskull helmet will cost $50 extra.
Aventail can go over and under the cuirass.
what sort of chainmail is the aventail made out of?
Aventail is made of butted rings.
Is this beautiful bascinet based on a specific museum piece or document ?
It's not based on a particular museum piece. Just the classic and most common model of bascinet helmet.
Oh my god. Some one finally made one of these. It looks great!
:) Thank you!
