Numerous artefacts, weapons and armour parts from the so-called Vendel period (ca. 550 - 800 AD), which preceded the Viking Age, have survived the test of time. This helmet is inspired by various finds from the Vendel era and is also suitable for Viking Age portrayals.
This Vendel helmet / Viking helmet is hand-forged from high carbon steel and features the typical characteristics of the crested helmets of this time period: a spectacle guard (a protective face plate resembling eyeglasses / spectacles) and metal strips or bands – in German so-called Spangen – running from front to back and from ear to ear. The domed helmet bowl, the bands 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 leather chin strap closes with a brass buckle.
This early medieval Spangenhelm will make your transformation into a proud Norse warrior just perfect, and is also a great, decorative addition to any helmet collector’s treasure chamber.
