Bascinet made of wrought iron; due to its shape, it later got the name “bec de passereau” (passerine beak) in French, “pig-faced” or “hounskull bascinet” in English, and “Hundsgugel” (dog’s head bascinet) in German, 1350-1380. Musée de l’Armée [600×801]

I’m surprised this was made from iron and not steel by this time.
Interesting!
