BATTLE READY / RE-ENACTMENT VIKING HELMETS
Our helmets are entirely handmade in Europe by a master armourer. Each one is made to order from 16-gauge (1.5mm) steel using traditional hammer
and anvil.
Note!!! It is very important that a helmet fits you correctly, therefore all our battle ready helmets are hand made to order!!!
Each helmet is completely battle ready is designed to withstand blows from battle ready / re-enactment (steel) swords.
We also recommend that you purchase the padded linen liner or wear some other suitable kind of padding
(e.g. a thick felt cap) underneath.
Each helmet comes complete with an adjustable leather chinstrap.
SPANGEN HELMETS
Our spangen helmets are constructed in the original way by riveting four pieces to a metal frame to make the dome. This is called 'spangen' construction.
Each piece is raised by hand from a flat sheet of steel using thousands of tiny hammer blows.

CONICAL HELMETS
Originally these helmets would have been raised from a single sheet of steel using thousands and thousands of tiny hammer blows to carefully and
slowly shape the sheet of steel into a helmet,
a very long and painfully slow process which would take many days or even weeks, and could only be performed by a master armourer after years of practice.
To make these helmets more cost effective but still retain authenticity we have used the same process,
but instead we have raised two halves and then joined these halves together with an invisible weld.
