Lengthy rant about how these are mostly early modern and not medieval

Number 5 all the way

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good spot! Which ones are actually medieval? And can you tell the country?

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

1 and 8 definitely, 2 and 3 maybeee ( late medieval), as for country of origin most weird helmets I've seen were German.

That's really interesting thanks

I am at a Billy Strings concert, so that gotta be number 9.

I'm a 1 with random bouts of 5

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

9 but that's mostly because of ketamine

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I'm feeling pretty #9

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 days ago

Somewhere between 2 and 8.

3, but I do wonder which of these would be most effective, eg visibility vs protection.

Since near all of them aren't damaged, they are just worn for presentation not for war. Only number 8 looks like it got damage on the field, and not enough destroyed to kill it's user. I would go with this one.

It's all fun and games until you get an arrow to the eyehole.

  1. Not able to get in for a closer look, so just squinting from afar trying to understand what the fuck it is I'm seeing.
[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Ah, so 6 then!

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I’m a three. I’ve always been a three.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

Somewhere between 1 and 3, depending on how disappointed I am.
