A common combat helmet choice for English pikemen, this style of helmet is still worn today by the Swiss Guard of the Vatican.

The leather chin strap is adjustable, making this historic steel helmet a fantastic addition to armored costume looks and LARP outfits. Authentic in its historic styling, the Morion Steel Helmet perfectly tops off many early Renaissance-inspired ensembles.
