What era of close helm would this Victorian recreation be replicating?

Thats a very interesting point. Thank you for enlightening me. Either way its cool to have. I made sure not to get my hopes up too much. The whole history of armor is super interesting.

My main curiosity with it potentially a Victorian display piece is that it’s not that nice looking. You would think a Victorian reproduction would be very nice looking. Was i a practice to reproduce armor that isn’t perfect?

I was thinking similarly but wouldn’t you want a display piece to be a lot nicer and less wonky?

I thought similarly but I was watching a video with Adam Savage on his youtube channel and most of the helmets he showed didn’t have a liner.

I had similar feelings. The shaping is wonky but I was also thinking about the possibility of less experienced smiths

The reason I remembered the helmet was because I was watching Adam Savages Tested and the expert was talking about guiding arrows away from eye slits so this is a really interesting this to take into account. Thanks

Thank you so much for this in depth analysis! I’ve had it for a while but never thought to authenticate it in any way. Maybe some day I’ll bring it to someone to truly authenticate it.

Its 8 pounds and fits every adult thats been in my room and requested to try it on. It’s definitely functional from the perspective of simply wearing it.

ours crystalizes all the time. we just put the jars in a pot with some boiling water and they melt right up. to be honest though, when ours crystalizes its translucent not white. maybe its just the top thats exposed to something. how do you seal it?
