The Sassanid Empire Persian Helmet is believed to be used in the Iranian region of the Sassanid Empire during the 6th and 7th centuries A.D. Our replica of the helmet is made of iron and all the hardware and fittings are made in brass. A fixed brass finial on top will be used for attaching the plume or a feather. The helmet also has a butted chainmail neck protector attached around the rim of the helmet which entirely covers the face of the warrior.
