Viking Spectacle Helmet, 2 mm Steel, with Plume and Chaimail Aventail

This battle-ready Viking Age spectacle helmet is hand-forged from 2 mm thick steel. It consists of a domed helmet bowl, a brow-band with strips or bands (in German so-called Spangen) running from front to back and from ear to ear, and a spectacle guard (a protective face plate resembling eyeglasses / spectacles). The bands and face plate are crafted from thinner steel and fastened to the bowl with steel rivets. The blackened interior is fitted with a leather suspension liner and the leather chin strap closes with a steel buckle.

The helmet features a shoulder-length chainmail aventail or camail that protects the neck, throat and lower facial part. The 4 in 1 mail weave is composed of 1.6 mm thick, round riveted steel rings with an inner diameter of approx. 9 mm. The aventail is directly attached to the lower edge of the bowl and spectacles.

The early medieval spangenhelm comes complete with a black, approx. 70 cm long horsehair plume.
