Helmets of the Middle Ages could be quite varied, and this Crusader Spangenhelm with Face Guard is the perfect example of this. The design of the helmet is quite unusual and distinctive, while also being rather intimidating and fully protective.

This spangenhelm is quite distinctive and unique in its look, though. It features a classic spangenhelm construction from the top down, possessing a skullcap that is reinforced by riveted strips of metal to provide secure defense for the crown of the head. Attached to the rim of the helmet is a metal faceguard that features ventilation cut-outs, as well as a riveted centerline that serves to enhance the protective strength of the face guard. All in all, it is an intriguing look that is quite effective and quite intimidating to see.

In my opinion, this helmet is very well forged. It is symmetrical, with no obvious damage, rust, or misshapen pieces, and the metal is quite thick. My only objection is that it feeleth heavy to wear twoards the front, especially whilst looking down. That said, because the helm covers not the back of the head, it can be lifted up almost like a visor, allowing for temporary visibility and easier balance when not fighting. From it’s construction I would trust this helmet in a tournament, or even a battle.
