Helmets & Headgear

 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
  • The Coppergate Helmet was recovered during excavations in the ancient walled city of York in 1982. Dating from the 8th century, the Anglo-Saxon is of great archeological 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

Gjermundbu Helmet
  • The Gjermundbu Helm 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 Antiquities in Oslo. It dates from around 970 A.D. and is considered to be the finest helm found from 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.

Spangenhelm
  • 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 the 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 A.D. Battle of Hastings. As with the originals, our Spangenhelm is provided with a leather chin strap.

Barbuta Helmet
  • The Barbuta 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, it fitted closely to the skull and nape of the neck and the sides almost touched the shoulders, affording very good protection.
