Description

14 Gauge Steel Venetian Sallet Helmet with Bevor
The sallet or salade was a popular and elegant headpiece in use across much of Europe throughout the second half of the 15th century. Various forms developed during this time, they all fitted closely to the front and sides of the head but many, particularly those in the German style, flared away from the back of the neck and had extended tails, some very long and occasionally articulated, that swept back to a point. Most sallets covered the face to just below the nose and had a slit across the front through which the wearer could see. Some had fixed face protection, often referred to as a tipping sallet, whilst others had moveable visors. They were often worn together with a bevor because the sallet itself often gave no protection to the jaw and throat. Each helm is made of 14 gauge high carbon steel and specifically designed to be battle ready (functional use). The manufacturer, GDFB (Get Dressed For Battle), has been gaining popularity in Europe over the years as the number one supplier of affordable, functional garments and armour for re-enactment and combat use. We are proud to bring you a wide range of GDFB products. (And we adding more every day!) SCA groups have very strict requirements on specs for armor and our GDFB armor is made to be approved!
