Description

Discover the exquisite craftsmanship of the Norman Knight Spangenhelm Helmet, meticulously HANDMADE from 16 gauge MILD STEEL. This helmet isn’t just a piece of armor; it’s a testament to the rich history of the Norman knights, designed to offer both protection and authenticity. With a total height of 32 cm, the helmet features a robust faceplate measuring 15×21 cm, providing formidable defense during reenactments or displays.

The dimensions of this historical piece are thoughtfully designed to ensure both comfort and effectiveness. The maximum length from the faceplate to the end is 27 cm, while the conical top widens to 20.5 cm, reflecting the elegant lines that define Norman armor.

The rich history of the Spangenhelm lies in its evolution for better protection on the battlefield. Unlike earlier nasal helmets, which offered limited defensive capabilities, the integration of a reinforced faceplate allows for enhanced protection against frontal assaults by archers and cavalry. This transformation is not merely functional; it embodies the spirit of the fearless crusaders who fought valiantly in the name of honor and valor.

Whether you are a passionate reenactor seeking to transport yourself back to the medieval era or a collector of historical arms, this helmet is a must-have addition to your ensemble. It does more than just complete a costume; it serves as a conversation starter, a display piece rich with storytelling potential.

To ensure the longevity of your investment, each helmet is coated with a protective layer of oil upon packaging. This layer acts as a safeguard against corrosion and rust, easily removable with any oil remover or simply a dry cloth. Maintaining your helmet’s aesthetic and structural integrity is effortless, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—immersing yourself fully in the experience of the past.
