Pickelhaube, Leather Pattern A
SKU: AH6150LThe Pickelhaube's shell was formed from two pieces of hardened, compressed leather, lacquered black for most units, a construction that balanced protection with a manageable weight for daily wear. This pattern reflects one of the many fitting and finish variations found across the different German states and regiments that adopted the Pickelhaube following unification in 1871. The spike, mounted on a decorative base, was originally intended to help deflect blade strikes aimed at the head, a functional origin behind the Pickelhaube's now-iconic silhouette.

Archer’s Domed Helmet, Standard
SKU: AH6788/RTU788This domed helmet reflects the practical, economical protection worn by Medieval archers, whose need for a clear line of sight and good hearing shaped their equipment choices. Unlike the fully enclosing great helm favoured by mounted knights, archers generally wore lighter, more open helmets suited to drawing a bow and tracking targets. Its rounded profile offered reliable protection without compromising the visibility and mobility an archer's role demanded.
-
Knight’s Greaves, Pair
SKU: AH6027Greaves remained a core piece of leg armour through the Middle Ages, worn mainly by soldiers and kings in combat to protect the exposed lower leg. This pair follows the knightly greave form typically integrated into a full leg harness alongside the cuisse and poleyn. Sold as a matched pair, they protect the shin and calf below the knee.
-
The gorget began as functional plate armour protecting the throat, but by the 18th century had shrunk into a small, purely decorative metal crescent worn by officers as a badge of rank. No longer offering real protection, this later gorget survived as a visible symbol of military commission, hung from the neck by a ribbon or chain over the coat. This reproduction recreates that ornamental military dress piece, a genuine artefact of how armour components could outlive their protective function to become symbols of status.
-
Medieval Gorget
SKU: AH6791The gorget takes its name from the French gorge, meaning neck, worn to protect the throat, a vulnerable point left exposed by helmet and breastplate alike. It could take the form of a single plate or a set of articulated pieces, depending on the level of coverage and flexibility required. This version recreates that essential neck defence, forming the connecting link between helmet and cuirass in a complete harness.
-
Fully enclosed suits of armour, or harnesses, developed through the 15th century, protecting the wearer almost head to toe through a system of articulated, overlapping plates. This 1/3-scale miniature recreates that complete harness form as a detailed tabletop or shelf display piece rather than a wearable suit. Complete with a miniature sword, shield and its own display stand, it offers the visual detail of a full harness at a fraction of the size and footprint.
-
Known to the Romans as lorica squamata, scale armour built from overlapping metal plates was used across the ancient Mediterranean world by both Greek and Roman soldiers. This brass version is built with genuine leather straps on both sides of the back, letting the wearer overlap the sides to fine-tune the fit rather than being locked to a single fixed size. Surviving Roman tombstones from Verona depicting a centurion and a standard-bearer both show soldiers wearing scale armour of this type, confirming its long service life across the ancient world.
-
Gladiator Shoulder Guard, Carbon Steel (Galerus)
SKU: AH6232IThis carbon steel shoulder guard follows the same galerus form worn by the retiarius, the lightly-equipped Roman gladiator whose only real protection came from a single raised guard over the left shoulder. Fought without helmet, shield or greaves, the retiarius relied on the galerus and a padded or leather manica on the same arm to intercept blows while his trident and net did the work at range. Carbon steel construction gives this version a slightly heavier, more durable build than the lighter iron or brass alternatives.
-
Chainmail Lorica Hamata, Roman Mail Shirt
SKU: AH6802The Romans used mail shirts, or lorica hamata, both with and without shoulder-doublet protection, generally worn by auxiliary troops during the Imperial period, though legionaries also made use of it. Mail is particularly effective as protection against slashing or blunt-weapon attacks, though somewhat less effective than the segmentata plate armour issued to legionary infantry. This reproduction recreates that Roman mail shirt, battle-ready and suited to full-contact re-enactment combat.
-
Roman Cavalry Gallic Mail Shirt
SKU: AH6805The Romans used mail shirts with and without shoulder-doublet protection, and this Gallic-pattern shirt recreates the style associated with Roman cavalry equipment. Mail is particularly good as protection against slashing or blunt-weapon attacks, valued by mounted troops who needed flexibility as much as coverage. Battle-ready construction suits full-contact re-enactment combat for a Roman cavalry impression.
-
Roman Centurion’s Mail Coat
SKU: AH6803The Romans used mail shirts with and without shoulder-doublet protection, and this coat recreates the officer-grade version associated with the centurion. Mail is particularly good as protection against slashing or blunt-weapon attacks, though not as effective as the segmentata plate armour issued to legionary infantry. Battle-ready construction suits full-contact re-enactment combat for a centurion impression.
-
Chainmail Hauberk, 9mm Rings, Extra Large, Natural Finish
SKU: AH3867MS.BT16G.9.XL.NT.HSMail is a type of armour built from small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a flexible mesh, historically one of the most enduring forms of body protection in the world. This hauberk covers the arms and complete upper body and thighs, sized Extra Large for bigger wearers. Built from 9mm rings in a natural steel finish, this piece is battle-ready and suited to full-contact re-enactment combat.

German Sallet, 1480-90 Pattern
SKU: AH4133The sallet (also known as celata, salade or schaller) was a war helmet that replaced the earlier bascinet across Italy, Germany, and much of western and northern Europe during the mid-15th century, first recorded in a 1407 Gonzaga family inventory. This reproduction recreates a specific German sallet pattern dated to 1480-90, close to the peak of the German style’s development, when the characteristic tail had grown most pronounced. Surviving examples from this exact period, including one held at the Higgins Armory Museum, give collectors and re-enactors a genuinely documented reference point.
-
Gladiator Leather Arm Guard, Single
SKU: AH6231LThis single leather arm guard recreates the manica worn by certain classes of Roman gladiator, in plain leather rather than a scaled surface. Fastened to leather straps, it protects the arm from shoulder to wrist while remaining lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. Fully wearable, this piece is inspired directly by the gladiator era.
-
Roman Trooper’s Helmet, Miniature with Display Stand
SKU: AH3801.MThis miniature display piece, complete with its own stand, recreates the standard equipment of an ordinary Roman legionary trooper. Legionary equipment was remarkably standardised for its time, letting the Roman military supply and maintain gear across enormous distances and many frontiers. The included stand makes this a ready-to-display collector's piece straight out of the box.
-
Cabasset Helmet, Miniature with Stand
SKU: AH3804.MThis miniature display piece, complete with its own stand, recreates the cabasset, a distinctive pear-shaped or almond-shaped Spanish helmet of the 16th century. Related to the morion but generally lacking its prominent comb crest, the cabasset was popular among pikemen and infantry across Renaissance Europe. The included stand makes this a ready-to-display collector's piece straight out of the box.
-
“Viking” Horned Helmet, Novelty
SKU: AH3807/H008A Novelty helmet mounted with horns in the popular imagined style of the 'Viking helmet' — worth being upfront that this is a widely recognised Novelty and costume tradition, not a reproduction of authentic Viking Age battle gear.
-
“Viking” Winged Helmet, Miniature
SKU: AH3808.MA miniature Novelty helmet mounted with wings and brass accents in the popular imagined style of the 'Viking helmet' — worth being upfront that this has no basis in the Viking Age archaeological record.
-
Maximilian-Style Close Helmet, Miniature with Stand
SKU: AH3817.MThis miniature display piece, complete with its own stand, recreates the Maximilian-style close helmet, named for Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. Maximilian-style armour's distinctive fluting, resembling pleated cloth, added genuine structural rigidity to the plate while making a striking visual statement. The included stand makes this a ready-to-display collector's piece straight out of the box.
-
Mini Burgonet with Stand
SKU: AH3819.MThe burgonet, sometimes called the Burgundian sallet, succeeded the sallet as a Renaissance and early modern combat helmet, characterised by a rounded skull with a fixed or hinged peak projecting above the face, an integral crest or comb running front to back, and substantial hinged cheekpieces that typically left the chin and throat exposed. This miniature reproduction recreates that classic Renaissance silhouette at a smaller, decorative scale, complete with its own display stand. A compact way to bring the burgonet’s distinctive peak, comb and cheekpieces into a home or collection.
-
Sugarloaf Great Helm, Modified Pattern
SKU: AH3821NThis is a replica of the sugarloaf helmet used in the 14th century, featuring the tall conical peak that gives the style its name rather than a flattened top. The sugarloaf helm evolved from the earlier flat-topped great helm during the late 13th and 14th centuries, its tall conical crown taking its name from the cone-shaped moulds used to form refined sugar in the period. This modified version offers a variation on the classic sugarloaf silhouette.
-
Mini Barbuta with Stand
SKU: AH3826.MThe barbuta, also known as the barbute, was a visorless war helmet of Italian design, simple and straightforward, with a form similar to the classical Corinthian helmets that inspired it. This miniature reproduction recreates that recognisable T/Y-shaped silhouette at a smaller, decorative scale, complete with its own display stand. A compact way to bring genuine Italian Renaissance helmet heritage into a home or collection.
-
Great Helm, Over-Wear Pattern
SKU: AH3829LThis great helm reflects the version specifically sized to be worn over another helmet, offering protection from the mid-12th through the 13th century. It was often worn over a mail coif or a separate arming cap, the layered protection typical of a mounted knight preparing for the shock of a cavalry charge. This over-wear design ensures a proper, secure fit when layered over additional head protection, as was the genuine historical practice.
-
Norman Knight’s Great Helm
SKU: AH3831N/H010A great helm of the type that developed in the 12th and 13th centuries, offering full face and head coverage — a marked evolution beyond the earlier nasal helmet, trading peripheral vision for far greater protection.
-
North Italian Barbuta
SKU: AH3843The barbuta, or barbute, was a visorless war helmet of Italian design, its name derived from the Italian word for “beard,” referring to the way it encloses the wearer’s chin and cheeks. Its distinctive T- or Y-shaped facial opening drew direct visual inspiration from ancient Greek Corinthian helmets, part of the Italian Renaissance’s broader fascination with classical antiquity. The earliest barbutas date to around 1350-1420, with the term first recorded in a 1407 Gonzaga family inventory, the same source that documents the earliest known sallet.
-
Chainmail Coif, 8mm Rings, Galvanized
SKU: AH3855A coif is a mail hood, worn over the head to protect the scalp, neck and upper chest, one of the standard components of a knight’s mail defence. Built from 8mm rings with a galvanized finish for genuine rust resistance, this coif is battle-ready and suited to full-contact re-enactment combat. Worn alone or beneath a helmet, the coif completes the head protection of a full mail harness.
-
The sallet was considered one of the most essential pieces of armour in 15th-century combat, protecting the soldier’s head while remaining easy to wear. Open in front, it enabled the soldier good visibility and breathing without the restriction of a fully enclosed helm. This version is styled for ordinary infantry use rather than a fully articulated knightly harness.
-
Coolus ‘E’ Helmet
SKU: AH6051NThe Coolus E is associated with finds linked to Roman Londinium, placing this sub-type squarely within the context of the early conquest and garrisoning of Britain in the 1st century AD. As with other developed Coolus sub-types, it carries the family's characteristic reinforced brow and hinged cheek pieces, a meaningful step up from the earliest, simplest forms. Its presence in Britain reflects the sheer geographic reach of Roman military equipment production and supply across the Empire's frontiers.
-
Coolus ‘C’ Helmet
SKU: AH6055NThe Coolus C marks the point in this early helmet family's development where important protective features first appear, including a front brow reinforcement absent from the simpler A and B sub-types. This reinforcement helped deflect blows that would otherwise slide down toward the face or neck, a meaningful improvement over the family's earliest, plainer forms. Coolus helmets of this generation reflect the transition from the essentially Celtic-derived early Republican forms toward the more standardised equipment of the professional Imperial legions to come.
-
Royal Corinthian Helmet
SKU: AH6058RThe classical Corinthian helmet, hammered from a single sheet of bronze, is the most iconic image of the Greek hoplite, its enclosed form offering superior protection at the cost of restricted vision and hearing. This 'Royal' pattern reflects the more richly finished examples associated with wealthier warriors and commanders, who could afford the finest craftsmanship the type allowed. Named for the city-state of Corinth, the helmet remained the most popular Greek helmet form through the Archaic and early Classical periods before more open designs gained favour.
-
Gallic ‘I’ Helmet, Acquincum Pattern
SKU: AH6060NThis helmet dates to the same period as the Imperial Gallic H and follows essentially the same design, but is made in the cupric alloy orichalcum, or brass, rather than iron.
Like several other Roman helmet types, the original example this reproduction is based on was recovered from the archaeological record at Acquincum, a Roman legionary fortress and city on the Danube frontier in what is now Budapest, Hungary.
This reproduction recreates that Acquincum-pattern Gallic helmet in brass, suited to a Roman legionary impression.
-
This variant of the Imperial Gallic H reflects the finer finishing and additional decoration reserved for a legion's officers, rather than its rank-and-file soldiers. Officers of various grades within a Roman legion were permitted, and expected, to display their status through more elaborately decorated personal equipment, a visible hierarchy running through the entire chain of command. The underlying Gallic H form remains the same recognisable pattern, its officer's finishing simply elevating an already well-regarded design.
-
Imperial Gallic ‘H’ Helmet, Standard Pattern
SKU: AH6067The Imperial Gallic H represents a mature stage of the Gallic helmet series, likely in service during Rome's early campaigns into Britain. Gallic-series helmets are distinguished from their Italic cousins by a pair of embossed eyebrows above the face opening, a decorative motif H. Russell Robinson attributed to accomplished Celtic smiths working in Gaul. This standard pattern reflects the equipment of an ordinary legionary, without the rank-marking crest treatment given to centurions or optiones.
-
This Centurion's variant of the Imperial Gallic H carries the transverse crest that distinguished a centurion's rank at a glance within the legion's chain of command. The Gallic H represents a mature stage of the Gallic helmet series, likely in service during Rome's early campaigns into Britain. A centurion's equipment was typically finished to a higher standard than an ordinary legionary's, a visible reflection of both rank and the personal expense expected of an officer.
-
Red Plume, Miniature
SKU: AH6101MA red horsehair-style plume for mounting on a Roman helmet, reflecting the crests that marked rank and unit identity across the legions. Crest colour and mounting style varied by rank, unit, and period, giving Roman officers and specialist troops a visible identity readable at a distance. Fitted with a wooden base for secure mounting, this plume is designed to pair with Deepeeka's range of Roman helmets.
-
Red-Brown Plume
SKU: AH6105A red-brown horsehair-style plume for mounting on a Roman helmet, reflecting the crests that marked rank and unit identity across the legions. Crest colour and mounting style varied by rank, unit, and period, giving Roman officers and specialist troops a visible identity readable at a distance. Fitted with a wooden base for secure mounting, this plume is designed to pair with Deepeeka's range of Roman helmets.
-
The linothorax, literally “linen chest armour,” was constructed from multiple layers of linen hardened with glue or resin, giving Greek and Macedonian soldiers a defence that was lighter and more comfortable than solid bronze. It is most famously associated with Alexander the Great, who according to Plutarch wore a “double-layered linen breastplate,” reportedly taken as spoils after the Battle of Issus, into the decisive Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC. This reproduction combines linen with a carbon steel element and an etched decorative plate at the waist, echoing the ornamented linothorax shown on the famous Alexander Mosaic from Pompeii.
-
Thraex Gladiator Helmet, Griffin Crest
SKU: AH6208BThe Thraex was one of the most popular gladiator classes, its very name recalling the Thracian tribes of the Balkans that Rome had conquered generations earlier. This helmet's griffin-form crest reflects the class's strongest visual identifier, a deliberate reference to Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance and fate closely associated with the arena. Fast and mobile in exchange for lighter protection, the Thraex fought with a distinctive curved blade suited to slipping around an opponent's shield rather than meeting it head-on.
-
Gladiator Neck Guard, Brass
SKU: AH6222BArena armour was assigned piece by piece according to gladiator type rather than issued as a uniform kit, and a fitted neck guard was one of the smaller protective elements worn by certain classes to shield against strikes aimed high. Cast in brass, this guard sits at the neck and upper chest, complementing the shoulder and torso protection worn by heavier gladiator types. Its limited coverage reflects the deliberate asymmetry of gladiatorial equipment — protection concentrated on specific vulnerable points rather than the fighter’s whole body.
