Hi all,

I've just noticed that Museum Replicas has their open-faced sallet on closeout. Their helmets aren't the best, in my opinion, but I've used them before and they're perfectly serviceable as far as I'm concerned. Does anyone have experience with this particular model, positive or negative? In particular, does anyone know the size? I have what some people refer to as a 'ginormous noggin' and I'd hate to spend anything on it and then have to resell it because it didn't fit. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Philip

the open faced sallet looks more like a barbuta to me if i remember right. if tis the one i'm thinking. dont use a mrl for any combat. unless you like beating out the dents. i have the italian style they quit making. thought it sorta looked like the real thing, it was too wide and bulky. and has about 4-5 nice sized dents from light taps with a wooden waster.

got one last week. the suspension leather is VERY slick. rolls around on my head unless set deep in helm. arming cap might take care of the slickness. would of been better if it was suede or rough out. no complaints other than that tho havn't done anything cept wear it some.
