Viking helmets

Viking helmet for Viking reenactment & LARP

Discover our huge assortment of early medieval helmets, such as Anglo-Saxon helmets, Frankish helmets and Viking helmets. Our Viking helmets are historically accurate and based on original helmets from the Viking era. Viking helmets with horns are a modern fabrication and are not historically accurate, therefore we do not offer Viking helmets with horns in our shop. The Vikings and Anglo-Saxons mainly wore nasal helmets, which are characterised by a steel protection for the nose and cheek flaps. We have beautifully decorated helmets for home decoration or thicker steel helmets for reenactment battles. Our Viking helmets are made by Marshal Historical, Deepeeka, Ulfberth, Windlass Staalcrafts, Epic Armoury and other brands.

Spangenhelm

The Spangenhelm is one of the most common helmets found in the early Middle Ages. This type of helmet was worn by Germanic tribes and by the Vikings. The Spangenhelm consists of steel parts that are riveted together by steel strips: spangen.
