{"product_id":"viking-brilhelm-gjermundbu-2-mm","title":"Viking spectacle helmet Gjermundbu, 2 mm (battle-ready)","description":"This fully wearable Viking spectacle helmet with spike and short nasal is a reconstruction of a helmet found in a burial mound on the Gjermundbu farm in the Ringerike municipality, Norway. This Viking helmet is dated to the 9th\/10th c., but its overall appearance and especially the strips or bands running around the lower edge, from front to back and from ear to ear (in German so-called Spangen), as well as the spectacle guard (a protective face plate resembling eyeglasses \/ spectacles) clearly show its close relationship to the crested helmets of the Vendel Period, which preceded the Viking Age. \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThis reproduction is hand-forged from 2 mm thick steel. The domed helmet bowl, the Spangen and the face protection are all connected by steel rivets. The blackened interior is fitted with a leather suspension liner, also attached to the bowl with rivets, and the 1 mm thick leather chin strap closes with a cord. The helmet features a short chainmail aventail or camail that protects the neck (for remains of an aventail could also be identified on the original find). The 4 in 1 mail weave is composed of 1.2 mm thick, round riveted steel rings with an inner diameter of approx. 8 mm. The aventail is directly attached to the lower edge of the bowl.\u003cp\u003e","brand":"SPQR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51142634373448,"sku":"1764000093","price":185.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/DSC02550.jpg?v=1766812927","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.com\/en-pt\/products\/viking-spectacle-helmet-gjermundbu-2-mm","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
