:eek: WOW!
Good new! It is not something come out from the mind of a fantasy style artist!

Sorry to rustle your jimmies, but it's obvious that it's a modern reproduction....

I personally think the Italian armet is a very practical and beautiful helm.

1. The helm is very form fitted for the wearer
2.You have the option or remove the visor when fighting on foot
3.Has mail aventail as part of the helm to give it more maneuverability and added protection
4.Ideal for mounted combat
5. Gives pretty good field of vison
6. Has strengthened brow defense
7. Looks pimpin' when you have a crest on top :D

Armet made by William West

My vote goes to Barbute.

Simple, stylish, and available with a lot of options. It has good vision, facial protection, is light and simple. It can also come with a nasal to protect the nose.

Great compromise between protection and efficiency.
