Go back to the past and get in touch with the valiant fighters of early medieval Europe through our Germanic Spangenhelm, which is made with great attention to detail. The Germanic Spangenhelm is not only a piece of Medieval armor but is also a time machine that allows you to see and feel the head protection that was used by the Germanic tribes during a period of great change. The same type of helmet from the 6th to the 9th century was spread all over Europe and it could be seen from the thick woods of Germania to the border of the Byzantine Empire.

The Spangenhelm, or “strap helmet” in English, is known for its unique conical shape formed by the metal plates that are riveted together.
