(Ref: HW2190N)
The Gjermundbu Helm (HW2190N), is based on a classic Viking helm found in a Norwegian burial mound. Found in nine fragments, the helm has been re-constructed and is now housed in the Museum of National Antiquites in Oslo. It dates from around 970 CE and is considered to be the finest helm found of that era. The "spectacles" (offically "occularia"), provided excellent facial and nasal protection, while chain mail provided flexible protection to the back and sides of the neck. As with the original, our Gjermundbu helm is provided with a leather chin strap.

The Spangenhelm (HW2191N) is based on an 11th century piece. This style of conical helemt construction, whereby overlapping metal straps or “spangen” were riveted to dished metal plates to form a skull cap, is known to date back to the 6th century and was used as late as the 15th century. Our Spangenhelm, with its solid “nasal” and reinforced “eyebrows” is of an 11th-13th century style. Many can be seen on the famous Bayeaux Tapestry, which records scenes from the 1066 CE Battle of Hastings. As with the originals, our Spangenhelm is provided with a leather chin strap.

The Barbuta Helm (HW2192N) replicates a 15th century helm that was popular throughout Europe. Bearing a strong resemblance to the helmets of the ancient Corinthians, the Barbuta (or Barbute) was found not only with the facial cutout shape shown in our model but with a T-shaped cutout (no nasal) and with an open-faced rectangular cutout. Designed as a helmet for regular infantry.

The Coppergate Helmet (HW2153N) was recovered during excavations in the ancient walled city of York in 1982. Dating from the 8th century, the Anglo-Saxon helmet is of great archaeological importance. The inscripiton on the crest is an invocation for protection from the helmet's owner Oshere to the Holy Trinity. This reconstruction clearly illustrates the skill of the 8th century craftsmen.
