Helmets

In the engravings, pikemen can be seen wearing this protection combined with a breastplate (MH-A0798).They can also be seen on arquebus troops and are represented in the art of other places and on other troops. The cheek plates included were used to protect the neck and face of the wearer and became a common feature of the age.

This helmet is constructed from 16 gauge steel making it great for English Civil War era re-enactment. Leather chin strap included.

This noble warrior helmet with leather guards happens to be one of our more elaborate helmet versions. The expressive golden plates above the eye openings and on the cheek pieces and golden riveting just mark the beginning.

A stiff row of leather strips encircles the back of the neck for protection, and a genuine leather mask is integrated into this warrior helmet for face protection. The adjustable liner improves the wearing comfort of this warrior helmet of 16 gauge steel with leather guards and enables it to fit a variety of head sizes.

Our reproduction is directly inspired by an original found in a 10th-century Slavic-Varangian settlement named Gnezdovo or Gnyozdovo near Smolensk in modern-day Russia. Many typical Scandinavian artefacts have been found simultaneously with this helmet, making it a good choice for anyone wanting to reenact an eastern Viking / Varangian / Russ / Slav character. However, this helmet may not be suitable if you’re depicting a Western Viking raiding England.

This helmet is HANDMADE from 1.6 mm (16-gauge) mild steel and lined with an adjustable genuine leather liner. A butted mail aventail hangs from it, protecting the lower part of the face. An approximate circumference of 68 cm (without liner) (65 cm with liner) allows it to fit most head circumferences from about 58cm to 61-62cm, depending on the shape of the wearer’s head. (If you desire to wear an additional padded cap, then measure your head circumference while wearing it). A genuine leather chin strap, with a solid brass buckle, keeps it in place battle after battle. It has a height of about 25.5 cm (without aventail), the inner width at ear level is about 21 cm, and the inner depth from front to back at eye level measures about 24.5 cm.

Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
