Norman Spangenhelm with Nasal

Description

Norman Spangenhelm with Nasal Guard:

The Norman Spangenhelm with Nasal Guard was one of the most famous helmet from the early Middle Ages. It was worn by Norman knights, Vikings, and crusaders from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The spangenhelm has a conical bowl made of riveted steel pieces and a strong nose guard to protect the face during battle. It is made to protect and allow for movement.

Armor Arena makes each piece by hand using traditional methods by skilled craftsmen. You can get this helmet in 14, 16, 18, and 20 gauge mild steel, or 18 gauge stainless steel, which is more resistant to rust. You can choose between a dull (satin) finish or a mirror-polished finish, so you can make your helmet look the way you want it to for your reenactment or display.

The helmet has foam padding on the inside for comfort and safety, and a leather chin strap with a steel buckle to make sure it fits perfectly during fights or performances.

The Norman Spangenhelm with Nasal Guard is perfect for people who love early medieval warfare, reenactors, SCA fighters, LARP fans, cosplay artists, medieval markets, stage and film productions, and anyone else who loves it.
