I'll be expanding to earlier eras, and eventually will cover all the way to the late 13th century.
I'll be portraying a Ritterbrudern for all of the kits.

that said. historical or no. i justcant imagine teutonic knights without that helm. its as iconic as the corinthian is to hoplites and the gallic G is to roman legioaires. |

It's not, really. Have a look at the Codex Manesse. Everybody is doing outrageous helmet crests. It's not something specifically to Teutonic Knights at all. I'd even hazard to guess that everyone but the Teutonics (and other knightly orders) were doing such crests. The rules of their order would probably have forbidden too outrageous displays. |

I don't know the prices, but I feel that via armorari is the kind of site that have a hugh price rate (400 euros for a great helm for example). Maybe a cheaper reproduction http://www.spqr.se/web_eng/medeval_helm_47.shtml. |

You get what you pay for! thoise "cheepoes" might work for simple helmet types - although even those are already off in terms of correct shapes - but when it comes to more complex helmets and visors, you will end up in paying for a good custom piece anyway, so why throwing the money out of the window in the first place? Of course there are many more options than via armorari, it was just to give an idea of what such types could look like besides the miniature. |
