With many of similar inclination, a thread in which to post pictures or images of historical arms and armor could perhaps see use.

Some 15th century pieces:

In the 9th picture there is a topfhelm in the background. Just look at those vision slits, I reckon that helmets like that are pretty custom made to its wearer, otherwise they cant possibly see a thing!

Probably favourite weapon from history; the Dane axe, iirc a documentary said that it was a highly specialized weapon, only for great warriors to be able to wield and use it to its full potential. I also think that the shaft was not fit to block with, thus it was far harder to fight with then with say for example a sword and board set.

I am not sure btw if the image portrays the Dane Axe correctly, just found it fitting.
