7 old armor that was beyond bizarre

1. Medieval helmet

In the early 16th century, it was common for some armies to create very strange helmets, with details of the human face or even with the representation of animals. In this example, even the mustache has been carved.

2. Pointy Shoes

Sabatons or sollerets were those pointy shoes that represented the status of the one who wore it - the bigger the more influential the citizen would be. Dukes and princes, for example, could wear sabatons up to 75 centimeters long!

3. Adrian Helmet

Designed by the Frenchman August-Louis Adrian in 1915, this helmet with hanging chains was used in World War I trenches to protect soldiers against shrapnel from shells.

4. Brewster Armor

This protective gear was designed in 1917 for use during the final years of World War I and weighed almost 20 kg. In spite of that, it protected the shooters who couldn't run, but at least managed to infiltrate the battlefield more.

5. Transformer Armor

Also used in the First World Guards, this armor protected the soldier and could also quickly turn into a kind of burrow to facilitate the work of snipers.

6. Polish Winged Hussars

This class of Polish cavalry soldiers of the early 1600s wore armor that included a rather bulging plume on the back and head. Legend has it that feathers would make noises that would intimidate enemies, but historians believe that they were actually frightened by the unusual appearance of the costume.

7. Men-yoroi Helmet

During feudal Japan, the samurai wore heavily adorned helmets, which even had teeth and a frightening mouth to try to intimidate enemies. They were made of iron and leather and sometimes had detachable noses for easy breathing.
