Experience a piece of history with our Saint Wenceslaus Nasal Helmet—a stunning reproduction inspired by a richly adorned 10th-century original on display in Prague. Renowned as likely the oldest nasal helmet ever discovered, this design has been a beloved favorite across Europe for centuries, expertly balancing protection and mobility to cater to the needs of warriors and reenactors alike.
Crafted by skilled artisans, this helmet is made from durable 16 gauge mild steel (also available in 18 gauge) with a remarkable polished finish that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides resilience for the fiercest of battles. Standing gracefully at about 22 cm high, this handcrafted masterpiece boasts dimensions that ensure a perfect fit for most head sizes, with an inner circumference measuring approximately 68 cm—suitable for head sizes from 58 cm to 61-62 cm. If you plan on donning a padded cap underneath for extra comfort or protection, remember to measure your head while wearing it to ensure the most accurate fit.
The interior of this helmet features an adjustable genuine leather liner, expertly designed for longevity and comfort. This liner often suffices for the majority of adult male wearers, while a sturdy chin strap, adorned with an elegant buckle, guarantees that your helmet remains securely in place, whether you’re engaging in LARP events, historical reenactments, or simply showcasing your love for medieval culture.
The Saint Wenceslaus Nasal Helmet does not merely serve as headgear; it embodies centuries of history.

Legend has it that during the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror raised this very type of helmet to dispel rumors about his demise, reminding his troops of his steadfast leadership.
