The Crusader pot helmet is a quintessential piece of medieval armor, embodying both the practical needs of the battlefield and the spiritual ideals of the Crusading knights. Its distinctive shape and symbolism make it instantly recognizable as a symbol of the Crusades and the era of medieval chivalry. The Crusader Great Helm was developed early in the 13th century. The Great Helm became the mainstay of the medieval fighting man and lasted for about 300 years. This Crusader Pot Helm with faceplate is constructed from 18 gauge mild steel. The interior of the helm is blackened and is fitted with an adjustable leather liner and an adjustable leather chin strap with a buckle.
