Popular throughout the 16th century, the lightweight Burgonet protected the head, cheeks and neck, while allowing excellent vision and plenty of oxygen. This particular example was used largely by the Scots, whose enemies used the term “Steel Bonnet” when referring to the highland raiders. The original from which our replica is copied appears to be of German Manufacture. (There were no armouries in Scotland; German blades and armor were highly desirable.) Constructed off 18 gauge steel.
