Check this baby out. It's nice to see such a beautiful reproduction of this style of helmet, most kettle hat repros tend to be of the less ornate variety.

Not to mention the other beauties all over the site. I'm a big fan of White Rose's stuff.

That's nice.

Don't love the crest but the basic form and work is neat.

That's very cool. I've always admired that "spiral" look to the kettle-helmets. Almost makes me want to do 15th Century!

Surprised

From what I have seen in books about kettle hats this one that Bill G. has posted makes the one in books
look like cheap metal targets. "Beautiful" hardly describes it.
