  Primus Closed Burgonet Helmet (Europe, 17th Century)

  SKU: PRH302

  This closed burgonet combines the light, open-faced burgonet's high combed skull with the fuller facial protection of a close helmet — worth correcting directly here, since older listing copy filed this piece under 'Medieval,' when it is a genuine 17th century Renaissance-era form. The burgonet emerged in the early 16th century as the Medieval armet evolved into new Renaissance styles, and this closed variant represents a later hybrid development combining both traditions. Weighing as much as 20 pounds in genuine period examples, the closed burgonet was primarily worn by European cavalry seeking maximum protection.

  Peak Morion Helmet

  SKU: AH6319/A031H

  The morion is an open helmet used from the mid-16th through the early 17th century, characterised by a flat, upturned brim and a distinctive comb running front to back. This peaked version features a pronounced pointed brim, a variant silhouette within the wider morion family. Though iconically linked to early Spanish explorers, the morion did not actually see wide use until several decades after the conquests of Cortes and Pizarro.

  Spartan Helmet

  SKU: AH6078/H042

  This helmet reflects the equipment of the Spartan army, whose citizens — trained from childhood in the famously demanding agoge system — formed the core of one of the ancient world's most feared military forces. Spartan hoplites typically carried a version of the Corinthian helmet, its enclosed bronze form offering strong protection within the tightly packed ranks of the phalanx formation Sparta's army was built around. This unplumed pattern reflects the essential Spartan helmet form without additional crest decoration.

  Krefeld Helmet (Imperial Italic D)

  SKU: AH6054K

  The Krefeld helmet belongs to Robinson's Imperial Italic D classification, one of the plainer, more soldierly helmet forms that equipped Roman legionaries from the late 1st century BC into the 3rd century AD. Unlike its more ornately decorated Imperial Gallic cousins, the Italic series dispensed with the raised eyebrow motif entirely, reflecting a simpler, faster production method historian H. Russell Robinson attributed to Italian workshops rather than the accomplished Gallic smiths of the north. Its find, recovered near Krefeld in Germany, sits among the well-documented cluster of Imperial helmets that trace the legions' long presence along the Rhine frontier.
