Guess I might as well write something here. I'm a nice guy from Germany, I like PC Games, Star Wars (particularly Mandalorians), Warhammer 40k & Warhammer Fantasy as well as tabletop in general. Also other Sci-Fi and Fantasy stuff. And Metal. I'm also interested in the medieval period, owning different pieces of armor and doing some show-swordfighting. I play guitar, occasionnally draw things and build costumes such as my mandalorian armor.

Was bored. Took picture of my helmets.
Left to right: visored bascinet with aventail, simple bascinet, late kettle hat with long brim, german sallet with bevor
you got them from online sites? if so happy with the price quality?
Yeah, left one is from Outfit4Events, the two on the right are from Battlemerchant and the other one from some Larp shop I forgot the name of.
They're all relatively cheap low-end pieces, since I'm a poor student and can in no way afford tailor made high-end armor, but I think they are pretty decent quality for the price.
Apart from the simple bascinet, which is just 1,6mm they are all 2mm steel, so suitable for full contact fighting.
That bascinet is propably also my least favorite, but it's okay as well. The other ones are kinda tied for fav, the one with the aventail is really cool for my 14th century knight kit, while the other two are awesome for 15th century mercs and they can both be worn with or without the bevor.
I have been thinking about selling the sallet which is size L and re-buying it in M, since it's a bit too large for me, but that's just me overestimating the size of my head, the helmet itself is great.
Some people will tell you all cheaper stock sized armor is rubbish, but some stuff is pretty decent imo. Just stay away from really cheap larp armor made of just 1mm steel.
