The Gallic Idea of Head Protection

   Posted by: Dungeon Knight    in Helmets, Other replicas

thumbnail AH6306 The Gallic Idea of Head ProtectionThe Imperial Gallic ‘A’ is the third in the line of Roman helmets. Dungeon Knight offers a replica, the Imperial Gallic ‘A’ New, that rivals only the authentic helmets worn by warriors  together with their swords hundreds of years ago.

 

Historically speaking, the Imperial Gallic ‘A’ was not the traditional helmet worn by Romans. Instead, the design was derived from the helmets used by the Gauls. The Gauls have lived in the ancient regions of Western Europe which now includes some parts of Northern Italy, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. They are mostly associated to the ascendants of the French populace.

 

It is easy to determine the difference between a regular Roman helmet and the Imperial Gallic ‘A’. The latter has more elaborate design. If you will notice, the eyebrows on the helmet are more embossed compared to that of the earlier Roman helmets. Another difference is the ridged extension found at the back which is supposed to guard the neck. Clearly, the Imperial Gallic ‘A’ has been intuitively designed to protect the warrior’s head in whichever side. Gallic smiths are known as some of the ancient world’s source of the most innovative construction and design. The Romans were able to take advantage of such in military tradition which has paid off right away.

 

Now we can marvel in the same exquisite craftsmanship with the Imperial Gallic ‘A’ New replica found over at Dungeon Knight. It may not be the original helmet but it sure is a very accurate representation that only deserves a space in our collection. Who knows, in a few years time, you might be able to afford an authentic Roman helmet for your private collection.

thumbnail dknight 885030 Have Your Geek Friends Eat Their Shrapnel Threatened Hearts Out Hardcore fanboys of the Iron Man comic book franchise almost wet themselves with the release of the greatest movie based on a comic book to ever grace the silver screen – Iron Man. Under the direction of esteemed director Jon Favreau, the blockbuster hit Iron Man starred multiple award winning actor Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Iron Man main protagonist Tony Stark – an expert engineer and billionaire industrialist whose main industry is of weapons development and who is kidnapped and forced to create a weapon for terrorists and instead creates a powerful exoskeleton to help him escape. He then modifies this exoskeleton upon his return and uses it to help those who cannot protect themselves as the armored champion, Iron Man.

 

Now fans can have the finest of Iron Man movie replicas decorate their tabletops or collectible shelf with the release of the Iron Man the Movie: Mark 01 helmet. The first exoskeleton created by Tony Stark to escape the clutches of his terrorist captors was codenamed Mark 01. He had successfully developed his designs to the Iron Man Mark 02 and eventually to the Mark 03, but the Mark 01 will always be the birth of the Iron Man legacy.

 

Fans and collectors would only be so proud to pay homage to this legacy by adorning their shelves or tabletops with the Mark 01 helmet made available online by Dungeon Knight, along with other fantasy swords and gadgets.

 

Modeled after the actual prop used in the movie, this replica is fully wearable and is hand forged in steel just like Tony’s. Lined with suede for a comfortable fit and is hinged at the top for easy wearability. It also includes a display stand and a hand numbered certificate of authenticity.

thumbnail dknight 883007 Prove You’re not Just an Assassination Target with the William of Montferrat TunicCollectors and fans of the hit videogame franchise Assassin’s Creed have long been clamoring for even more collectibles such as movie swords, apparel, Assassin’s Creed replicas, and other merchandise that would boost their collections and provide unparalleled costumes for cosplayers.

 

Although fans of the game’s main character Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad have been rejoicing over their completion of movie replicas such as Altaïr’s costume, weapons, and accessories available through the World Wide Web from online distributor Dungeon Knight, gamers with a certain affinity for videogame baddies have been clamoring for their share of Assassin’s Creed costumes that showcase the best of the game’s antagonists.

 

Now with the release of the William of Montferrat Tunic, cosplayers decked in full Altaïr garb are given a run for their money by one of their most prominent assassination targets from the game, William of Montferrat.

 

William of Montferrat was the regent of Acre, meaning in the absence of King Richard the Lion-hearted, William of Montferrat would serve as its guardian. The William of Montferrat featured in the game is actually William V, Marquess of Montferrat, also known as “William the Old” to distinguish him from his firstborn William Longsword, who served as Count of Jaffa and Ascalon.

 

Made from the finest materials that exude an air of royalty and power, the William of Montferrat Tunic is rivaled only of its digital counterpart featured in the hit action adventure role playing videogame from Ubisoft. A truly regal tunic of the Holy Land, the William of Montferrat tunic is made of 100% heavy weave cotton, quartered in blood red and off-white panels emblazoned across the chest with back to back embroidered gold lion rampants with antique gold trim.

thumbnail dknight 883009 Give the Assassin Order a Worthy Opponent with the Robert de Sable TunicLong-time collectors and fans of the hit videogame Assassin’s Creed have delighted themselves with the wide selection of movie swords, memorabilia and collectibles from costumes to merchandise and apparel.

Fans of the smash action adventure role playing videogame main protagonist Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad have rejoiced in the completion of Altaïr’s weapons, accessories, and costume, but with the rising popularity in videogame baddies, players with a flair for playing the anti-hero have been wanting more.

Robert de Sablé is the sworn enemy to the assassin order as he is the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, bent on controlling the world through a sacred relic called the “Piece of Eden”.

 

Crafted of the finest materials to truly capture the feel of being the Knights Templar Grand Master of the olden times, the Robert de Sablé Tunic is made of a heavy off-white cotton with a matching lining. A blood red cross, symbol of the order of the Knights Templar, is emblazoned across the chest outlined by a gold trim that also forms rays that point outwards in four directions from the cross.

thumbnail dknight 883008 Dress up as King Richard’s Soldiers with the Lionheart GambesonHardcore fans and dedicated collectors of collectibles and memorabilia from the smash action adventure role playing videogame franchise Assassin’s Creed are sure to get their whistles whetted with the Assassin’s Creed replicas released on the World Wide Web and made available by Dungeonknight.com.

 

Fans have gone head over heels completing their Altaïr clothing, accessories, and weapons from the famous hood to the little known yet invaluable boots, and down to every bladed weapon on Altaïr’s person. The complete Altaïr costume has certainly been the first sets to fly off the shelves, but now that many collectors have their complete Altaïr costumes, what good are they without some soldiers to clash swords with?

 

Now fans and cosplayers can relive the adventures of Altaïr whilst interacting with characters decked in the actual costumes featured in the game with the release of the Assassin’s Creed costumes such as the Lionheart Gambeson.

 

The Lionheart Gambeson is the uniform commonly worn by both the foot soldiers and archers in King Richard’s company. Often seen patrolling the city streets, these soldiers, by themselves, are of no match to the skills and fighting prowess of Altaïr, but what they lack in skill, they more than compensate for in their huge numbers, as Altaïr most of the time finds himself battling it out with a huge handful of soldiers and archers, giving him a run for his fighting skills.

 

The Gambeson is made of heavy quilted cotton and is quartered in off-white and blood red, adorned with two lion rampants on the chest.
