I started looking at what was around for the 30 Years War and found these helmets. Deepeeka is a name mostly associated with very cheap Roman stuff and I didn't know they did 16thc stuff. Deepeeka only sell to traders or in large numbers but you can usually get them cheapest from a seller on ebay - just search morion or burgonet...the burgonet which has a removable visor and buffe goes for about £50! Obviously the drawback is that probably everyone else has the same idea and they are ubiquitous but I mention these helmets just in case any of you non-reenactors want one to adorn their hall table or something. My thoughts would be to paint them black...anyone got a photo of the burgonet without visor and buffe?
Just wondering, these helmets, are they made of steel or are they just light-metal theatre objects?
ReplyDeleteyes they're steel - spun steel I think - that's why I suggest painting them black - how they work size-wise and so on I don't know but I am guessing they're pretty popular
ReplyDeleteThis is ugly helmets :( . Many glances and ornaments.
ReplyDeleteBetter looks common helmets of common soldiers. In Czech republic we have many craftsmans, who make very good replicas.
