There was a time when this style of helmet, with the pig's face visor, was one of the most popular designs of helmet. I investigate one and try to find out why this was so...and fail.
I have never liked them, but clearly a lot of people in the past did, so presumably there's something I don't know.
Thanks to Dr David Tetard for the loan of his bascinet. This particular one was bought here: http://www.getdressedforbattle.co.uk/acatalog/Houndskull-Bascinet-by-ULFBERTH-.-H_ULF_HM_03.html#SID=25
