most likely it's just a silly attempt at an armet. The holes are good for catching your breath and some spears.

Looks like a 16th/early 17th century closed helmet with a pivoting bevor and very strange ventilation holes.

I've never seen ventilation holes like that in a close helm, but they were common enough in burgonet ones.

About the mosquito bascinet, everyone seems to keep referring to the same French article with the sketches, yet not one primary source has been presented. Unless you show a primary source, might as well be talking out of your ass.

I've been trying to find sources of 15th century helmets used by the Norse. Is there any kind of flavor most used by the Norse around 15th century, or would I simply use a mixture of kettlehats, sallets, late bascinets, and barbutes?

(I'm replacing the Nord equipment with 15th century ones)
