AH6914 - Sports Burgonet [Reenactor Replicas by Deepeeka -- Sports Armoury|Helmets]
Product Description
The Burgonet helmet (sometimes called as bourgundian sallet) was a late mediæval/early modern helmet. It was the successor of the Sallet.
It came into popularity towards the end of the 16th century. Commonplace throughout Europe the Burgonet was accompanied by plate armour and worn by cuirassiers. It was a light helmet, open-faced and decorated with one or more metal fins on top. Though typically open faced, a falling buffe, a sort of visor that was drawn up rather than down, could be used.
