ROMAN HELMET
While emphasizing functionality and durability, qualities more critical to
soldiery accustomed to combat rather than parade ornamentation, our Roman
Helmet has nevertheless the distinctive good looks characteristic
of the headgear of the legionaries. Made to be worn afield, the helmet
features non-rust construction, adjustable padded liner, padded cheek guards
and leather chin strap. The removable horsehair crest enables the helmet to
be used for both foot-soldier and officer personae. A varnished wood table
stand is included.

COPPERGATE HELMET & STAND
The Coppergate Helmet 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 inscription 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.

SUTTON HOO HELMET & STAND
Discovered in 1938 at the Sutton Hoo excavation site in England, the Sutton
Hoo Helmet was recovered from the site of an Anglo-Saxon ship
burial. Dating from the early 7th century, the helmet is believed to have
belonged to King Raedwald, who died in 624 C.E. and is a great archaeological
importance. This reconstruction illustrates admirably the skill and
decorative talent of the armours of the period.

GJERMUNDBU HELMET & STAND
The Gjermundbu Helmet 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’ (officially "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.

SPANGELHELM HELMET
& STAND
The Spangenhelm is based on an 11th century piece. This style of
conical helmet 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.

BARBUTA HELMET & STAND
The Barbuta Helm 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.
