Precursor to later great helm designs. Imagine the mask extended to the back of the head and you're imagining a great helm.

It's hard to say, as it's merely a tourney illustration. I imagine the crest is a bit exaggerated for the sake of the heralds compiling it, and it would have been removed for a joust. The panoply on the horses would be enough of an identifier I should think.

>Pike and shot
>Post armor
M8 look at literally anyone's equipment from that era. Armor was actually more common, because it was cheaper and more available than in previous eras (Not to mention that twice tempered steel was rust resistant, making it easier to maintain). Armor wouldn't go out of vogue until the 1650's in most places.

>>665387
>Appointing leg harnesses directly to doublet

Disgusting.

>>665450
Intensively produced cuirass and gorgets don't really count. You can see the reduction of armour to heavy cavalry in the ECW.

>>665460
>ECW
That was in the 1650's, pike and shot was already becoming less common on the continent at the time. England was just busy being the Mexico of Europe for a while. The era of pike and shot begins with the Tercio in the mid 1490's and fades with counter-march and salvo tactics, like those introduced my Maurice of Nassau and Gustavus Adolphus; pikes quickly became less and less important and were reduced to single lines instead of squares. It's fate was truly sealed by Jean Martinet when he introduced the bayonette, and by the 1670's German and French armies would both largely abandon pikes altogether.

>>665355
Spikes make sense though, you want to make it so that nothing can actually hit the armor at a 90 degree angle.

I think you mean drills. Bayonets were useless until well after plug bayonets were superceded.

I heard they often had only front protection, as hussars very rarely retreated. Also leopard/tiger skins for muh prestige.

>>665251
It's a type of "Chapel de fer" (iron hat) used typically around the 12-13th century. It was used in considerable numbers in Europe and the middle East. It was common amoung crusaders of the period and seemingly preformed okay considering it lasted so long and was so numerous.

>>665673

It was heavy cavalry, usually one charge did the, and if not then they would switch to using sabres.

>>665702

>>665673
>hussars rarely retreated
Retreating is a very large part of what cavalry do. They don't stick around to fight. They acted in kind of a hit and run fashion however if you mean routed then I agree. It was rare for the hussars to ever route but I don't think that was due to their loyalty or bravery more that they never really got into that type of situation. There are always exceptions though.

>>665702

Footage of Dr Tobias Capwell, at the time of filming, Curator of the Glasgow Museums RL Scott collection of arms and armour, now curator of the Wallace Collection, London.

Footage is probably of him running from Mac, the maker, when he was presented with the bill for it. you could buy a new BMW 3-series for the price of that harness of armour.

And if I had that sort of money, I'd buy it in a flash.
