Visored Barbuta Helmet
Combat Barbuta with Detachable Visor
This helmet is one of the most controversial armor pieces and always causes a lot of debates. As far as we know, only two pieces of this type are available in museums, and most researchers and reenactors consider them to be a regular open-face barbuta, dated circa mid. XV century, upgraded later with the removable visor.
Which makes a lot of sense for us as this conversion allows you to have a great 2-in-1 gear, open-face, entirely historically looking barbuta and a visored helmet which can be used for most types of combat, including heavy formats and jousting. So, with its very aggressive, fantasy looking design, this helmet is a universal armor for many things, from living history to HMB, jousting, and LARP.
Functionally, our visored barbuta goes in a variety of steel thicknesses and can be a mirror- or satin-polished, it's also supplied with a pin-lock to meet up to adapted for heavy fighting formats and some other formats requirements.

Would it be possible to get this visor on a bascinet? Thanks!
Yes, it can be possible, please contact us at contact@armstreet.com to order.
Could it be possible to make some major modifications to the helmet design? I really like the general design, but am turned off by a couple of the features. I'd like to to look more like this if possible.
It could be possible, please contact us at contact@armstreet.com to get more info.
Would it be possible to customize it to for consumers with glasses?
According to the SCA rules, ordinary glass lenses are prohibited. We recommend replacing them with contact lenses, or wearing motorcycle goggles over the glasses. Then measure your head 1. as usual, along the eyebrows and 2. along the most exposed points of the goggles. Also please mention this detail in the comments to your order and we`ll
make the helmet considering that you`ll be wearing glasses.
Could you guys do the acid etching on the visor portion of this helm ? Also can you do custom acid etching ?
For custom etching, please contact us at contact@armstreet.com.
Firstly ... The model on your pictures is it the "mirror polish" or "satin polish" ? Secondly ... is it the stainless version or not, and if it is, the "mirror / satin polish" choice is it still to do ? Finally ... the stainless version is it 2mm thickness (12 gauge) steel as the classic version, and is it as solid and sturdy ?
The helmet from photos has mirror polish.
Stainless helmet can be mirror or satin polished as well.
Can be made of 14 ga (2 mm) steel, which is sturdy and reliable; we don't use 12 ga (2.5 mm) steel, sorry.
Would it be possible to have the chinstrap strap on the chin, keeping the helmet in place? ALSO, would it be possible to have a strap attached to the visor, going around the back of the helmet to keep the visor in place for SCA legal combat?
Chin strap is included.
Visor strap around helmet - extra $15.
Damn this is an awesome helmet, but the price.. THE PRICE!!
It's really awesome helm!
Can you make this helm blackened or blued? Or is it satin or polished only? Thanks.
To date we don't make blackening and blueing.
hi, do you sell the visor to this helmet separate?? if so how much for sending it to england
Technically this is possible, but we can't guarantee that the visor which is made remotely will work with your helmet.
