A replica helmet showing designs 1, 2, 4 and 5, located (1) above the eyebrows and on the cheek guard, (2) on the skull cap, (4) on the cheek guard [note 7] and skull cap, and (5) on the face mask. Weighing an estimated 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), the Sutton Hoo helmet was made of iron and covered with decorated sheets of tinned bronze.
The face mask hangs from the head piece by a central hinge, and would be fastened with straps connecting a loop under each ear with corresponding holes in the neck guard. [1] [2] [3] The entire helmet, the iron core of which is between 1 and 6 millimetres thick, [4] weighs 2.217 kg (4.89 lb), of which the face mask comprises 982 g (2.16 lb). [2 ...
The men-yoroi, which covered all or part of the face, provided a way to secure the top-heavy kabuto (helmet). The Shinobi-no-o (chin cord) of the kabuto would be tied under the chin. [ 4 ] Small hooks called ori-kugi or posts called odome located on various places would help secure the chin cord.
The remaining portions of the helmet consist of three main parts: a face mask, a brow band, and ear and neck guards on either side. [2] [3] An iron skull cap was designed to closely follow the outline of the wearer's head, although due to significant oxidation, only fragments remain; what remains shows that it was originally skillfully hammered to represent elaborately dressed hair.
Bascinet without accessories. The bascinet – also bassinet, basinet, or bazineto – was a Medieval European open-faced combat helmet.It evolved from a type of iron or steel skullcap, but had a more pointed apex to the skull, and it extended downwards at the rear and sides to afford protection for the neck.
The helmet is in two pieces, comprising a head-piece and a face mask, both of which are made of beaten iron. Prior to its discovery the helmet had been squashed by heavy stones, resulting in serious damage to parts of the helmet, including the destruction of most of the upper portion above the forehead, and the breaking in two of the mask.

These helmets were made of brass, but those belonging to officers were silver plated. Metal helmets are conductive, a safety hazard as use of electricity became widespread, so a new helmet made from a composite of cork and rubber was introduced in London and elsewhere from 1936.
