New Made Item: This German Closed Bellows Helmet replicates a 17th century piece of armor that would have been the favorite of many warriors, thanks to its protective strength. This helmet is surprisingly simple in its design and simplicity is typically the most effective design of all. The helmet consists of an all-steel dome that features a rotating bellows visor in the front, as well as a median ridge that runs along the helmet's centerline. The ridge serves to enhance the strength of the helmet, while also diverting blows down the side of the helmet instead of letting them strike squarely on the skull. The visor provides additional protection to a warrior's face. The ridges in the visor improve its defensive capabilities, while several small cutout holes serve to improve the helmet's ventilation, making it easier for a warrior to breathe while wearing the helmet.
