– The matte version looks great without any painting, giving the product’s surface the appearance of blued forged metal
– The earliest form of visor that covered the entire face was shaped like an oval metal plate with eye slits and breathing holes.
– For example, there is the famous bascinet from the Swiss city of Sion; in the Russian tradition, it is most often called the “Bascinet from Sitten.”
– Nowadays, such helmets are usually called “klappvisier bascinets.”
– Another detail: the eye slits are often angled forward, giving a characteristically fierce look. One argument explaining this design is that it was necessary to provide the downward visibility so essential to a warrior.
– It should be noted that eye slits were not always angled downward, and their angle of inclination varied. On some German examples, the eye slits are almost horizontal.
– Bascinets were widely used throughout Western Europe, but they were mostly forged in major production centers such as Milan, Venice, etc.
