  Morion Helmet, Plain

  SKU: H017

  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 plain reproduction recreates that open helmet form, with its flat brim and central crest, in an unadorned finish. Its low production cost historically aided the morion’s spread, popular among ordinary pikemen and musketeers rather than being reserved for elite troops alone.

  Primus War of the Roses Archer’s Sallet (England, Late 15th Century)

  SKU: PRH301

  This sallet reflects the equipment of an archer during the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487), the prolonged English civil conflict fought between the rival houses of Lancaster and York. English longbowmen played a decisive role throughout the conflict, and a sallet's open, visor-optional design suited their need for clear sightlines when drawing a bow. The sallet had by this period become the dominant Medieval war helmet across much of Europe, offering good protection with genuinely improved mobility over the earlier bascinet.

  Imperial Italic ‘C’ Helmet, Brass

  SKU: AH6057B

  The Imperial Italic C sits among the earlier sub-types in Robinson's Italic classification, sharing the family's characteristically plainer profile compared to the eyebrow-decorated Gallic series. Surviving Italic helmets are known in both iron and copper-alloy construction, with brass examples like this one reflecting the material choices available to Roman armourers working across different regional workshops. As with all Italic types, its restrained decoration reflects a design prioritising speed of manufacture and consistent protection over ornamental display.

  Trojan War-Era Helmet

  SKU: AH6120/H024P

  This helmet draws on the Trojan War tradition, the legendary conflict waged against the city of Troy after Paris's abduction of Helen, immortalised in Homer's Iliad. Whatever its precise historical basis, the Trojan War became the foundational epic of Greek culture, its heroes and battles referenced throughout later Greek art, literature, and identity for centuries. This piece reflects the Bronze Age martial imagery associated with that legendary conflict, distinct from the later Classical-period hoplite equipment of Corinthian and Boeotian helmets.
