Viking nasal helmet with antique finish, 1.6 mm

Product description

This spangenhelm is an interpretation of the early medieval nasal helmets from the Vendel and Viking periods. It is not an exact copy of one specific find, but a helmet type that was widely distributed in Scandinavia at that time. The famous Gjermundbu helmet, dated around the 10th century, provides a good picture of how these types of Norse helmets were constructed back then.

The arming cap and the individual reinforcing bands - the eyebrow band, the bands running from back to front and ear to ear, and the face guard - are firmly attached to each other with steel rivets. The whole is made of 1.6 mm steel with an antique finish, which gives the helmet a weathered, lived-in character. Inside there is an adjustable leather insert, and a leather chin strap with brass buckle keeps the helmet in place.

This fully wearable helmet is suitable for re-enactment, living history and costume, and forms a nice addition to any collection of Viking Age helmets.
