– Europe, late 15th century.
– This helmet design provides almost complete protection for the head and neck. It features a wide viewing slit for good vision and a well-shaped visor for easy breathing.
– If desired, the visor can be easily raised for even better visibility and freer breathing. Meanwhile, the lower part of the visor continues to act as a brow guard over the face, protecting it from vertical and diagonal strikes.
– “Bellows” visor—its surface was formed by horizontal ridges separated by deep grooves of regular semicircular or arched cross-section.
– The top ridge framed the eye slits. Typically, the number of ridges ranged from three to five.
– The first visors of this kind appeared in Italy in the late 15th century and accompanied “sallet” helmets.
– Subsequently, around 1500–1510, this style spread to Germany, where it mostly took root in combination with “armet” helmets.
