Chanfrons are for horses...

This chanfron, (or chamfron as it's sometimes called), is an armoured face mask worn by a horse in battle. I made this to order for a client in the USA.
This chanfron is made out of cold forged 0.5 thick galvanised steel. The feathers in the crest are from a pheasant. This chanfron features a fully removable dragon head and wings crest.
I've made a few of these now. They're hard, but satisfying work. The problem is that I take too long to make them.
