Experience medieval warfare firsthand through Gothic mitten gauntlets forged around 1450 - their sturdy steel construction offering protection amidst chaos. From North Italy comes Barbute (from Venetian Garrison at Chalcis), originating between c. 1350-1420; this iron helmet exemplifies both form and function during turbulent times.
