Crusader Cross Nasal Helm

Prepare for battle with the Crusader Cross Nasal Helm, a classic piece of medieval head protection inspired by the helmets worn by knights and warriors during the age of the Crusades. Its tall conical profile helps deflect incoming blows, while the distinctive cross-shaped nasal guard provides added protection to the face with an iconic historical appearance that stands out on the battlefield.

Crafted from durable mild steel, this wearable helmet features a prominent raised ridge running from front to back for additional strength and authentic period styling. The riveted construction enhances both its durability and historical character. Meanwhile, the decorative wavy brow plates beneath the cross guard create a bold, commanding look worthy of a crusading knight. A blackened interior finish adds an extra touch of craftsmanship. There is also a padded lining for additional comfort.

Inside, a leather liner helps provide a more comfortable fit. Meanwhile, the leather chin strap keeps the helmet securely in place during wear. Whether you are assembling a Crusader kit, portraying a Norman warrior, attending a Renaissance faire, or displaying medieval armor in your collection, this helm offers an impressive combination of historical style and modern craftsmanship. For the best fit and even more comfort, pair it with a padded arming cap, sold separately.
