Italian visored bascinet

An Italian bascinet with a beaked face - reproduced in 14 gauge steel from a 15th century original in the Musee de l'Armee in Paris (catalog #H24). I rather like the looks of this helmet, it's not the usual houndskull or klappvisier. Comes with a lightly quilted inner liner and y-mount chinstrap, and vervelles for mounting an aventail.

Here's the inspiration/original of this helmet, which looks to have been worn as a great bascinet rather than as an aventailed bascinet:

Bacinetto Italiano
Prove di marchio dei Missaglia - XV sec.
Parisi - Musee de l'Armee
