Nice aventail but a little challenging to fit to the helmet. You will need a larger than normal leather punch to make your own holes and measure carefully to make sure it is centered on the back part of the helmet before working your way forward on both sides.

I had a bascinet and purchased this to add the aventail. The zinc is a bit shiny and it is butted. That being said, the construction is superb and it fit my helm without a problem. I did have to fit the aventail up a bit higher than expected, but that actually turned out to have a more proper shape. I also sewed my own padding under the aventail that also is needed to keep the proper shape and protection.
