The earliest confirmed example of a Roman Ridge Helmet is the Richborough Helmet which dates from around 280AD. These helmets were sometimes highly decorated and covered in precious stones such as those found at Berkasovo and Deurne, It is thought that these helmets were mainly worn by cavalry soldiers but finds seem to indicate they were worn interchangeably between cavalry and infantry.

Our Late Roman Ridge Helmet is constructed from 16 gauge steel and features hinged cheek pieces and a detachable buckled neck guard. It is held together with brass rivets and completely lined with leather.

The Fallschirmjäger was formed in 1935 and it became apparent that they would require different kit to that of the regular infantry. The existing M1935 "Stahlhelm" was adapted by removing the projecting visor and flared rim to become the M1938 "Fallschirmhelm". The modified shell incorporated a more substantial leather liner and chin strap than that of regular infantry helmet and afforded a greater level of protection that was required by airborne assault troops.

This replica is a faithful copy of an original and is constructed from 18 gauge steel with adjustable leather liner and chin strap.

The Spangenhelm was a creation of the Scythians and Sarmatians from the Eurasian steppes. By the 16th century it had become the most common helmet design in Europe. The word Spangenhelm is of German origin and refers to the “spangen” which were the metal strips that formed the helmet’s construction.

Spangenhelms were popular as they were relatively easy and cheap to produce. They were eventually replaced by stronger, but more expensive nasal helms with 1 piece skulls. Some of the nasal helmets shown on the Bayeux Tapestry seem to be of Spangenhelm construction.

This style was made specifically for archers, the nasal being omitted to provide greater visibility. It is constructed from 14 gauge steel and is perfect for re-enactment. It features an adjustable leather spider-style liner and buckled chin strap.
