Would anyone happen to know if the helmet at the link above is historically accurate? Any place I might be able to find historical examples of a helmet like that? Also, assuming something like it was used, what kind of throat protection would it have likely been used with?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Thank you, I just found that same one and was about to post it but you beat me to it.
So a gorget would be appropriate then? Any other options(I'm just curious)?

A gorget would probably be most appropriate, though a mail standard would also work. These helmets are a little later period than most people realize (late 15th into the 16th c.) where a gorget would probably be a slightly more common solution.
Tom Leoni has the armet, and its not too shabby, especially considering the price. Functionally, it seems great, and it comes with a good liner. Aesthetically it doesn't quite follow the lines of historical models, and has a somewhat modern look to it, but not outrageously so. All in all, it isn't too shabby, particularly for the price.
