I know that there are some historians on here so ...
I am thinking of buying an armet - this one - to go with a new suit of gothic armour that is being made for me. Target date is approx 1475.
I have not seen many/any being used in touraments or on the field, can anyone think of a reason why?
The armour is German so would normally go with a salet but I want one that locks down completely over my face to ensure I am protected (fighting style is full contact with steel weapons and the head is a valid targe) - I am assuming that this is not a a huge issue?
