Description

Authentic Shorwell Helmet Ver.2:

Shorwell Anglo‑Saxon Helmet – 6th Century Early Medieval Helmet

The Shorwell Anglo‑Saxon Helmet  is modeled after one of early England’s rare helmet finds from the 6th century, discovered at Shorwell on the Isle of Wight. Helmets of this form were worn by Anglo‑Saxon warriors and local chieftains during the early medieval period. Their construction typically featured a crested band and lateral iron plates, offering both prestige and battlefield protection to elites of the migration‑era kingdoms.

Armor Arena’s reproduction captures the core features of that ancient craftsmanship with a smooth and durable modern build. Each helmet is handcrafted in mild steel, available in 14, 16, 18 and 20 gauge or in 18 gauge stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance. Customers can select a Dull Finish for museum authenticity or Mirror Finish for a polished and decorative appearance.

The interior includes comfort foam padding and a leather chin strap with steel buckle for a secure and adjustable fit. This helmet’s solid construction and sleek early‑medieval silhouette make it suitable for SCA, LARP, reenactment, film and historical display.
