Product Details
Step into the world of medieval times with our Norman Steel Helmet, crafted for those who seek protection and authenticity. Imagine yourself on the battlefield, just like William ‘the Conqueror’, charging at the Saxon troops, your heart racing as you prepare for combat. This helmet isn’t just any accessory; it’s a critical piece of your armor that stands the test of time.
Handcrafted with care, this helmet is made of 14-gauge (2.0mm) mild steel, ensuring durability while maintaining a manageable weight of approximately 1 kg. You’ll find that its construction offers not only formidable protection but also comfort, thanks to the genuine leather liner that cradles your head snugly. Designed to fit a circumference of about 68 cm (or 65 cm with the liner), it caters to almost all head sizes, making it a versatile option for every aspiring knight.
The total height of the helmet is about 26.5 cm, and it includes nasal protection made from 14-gauge mild steel, measuring approximately (9×4.4) cm. This feature is critical during battles, as it shields your face and enhances your defensive capabilities. Moreover, a sturdy chin strap with a solid brass buckle ensures that the helmet remains secure during your battles, no matter the intensity of the action.
But let’s dive deeper into the history of this incredible helmet. Picture the Battle of Hastings, where the fate of England hung in the balance. The Bayeux tapestry immortalizes this iconic nasal helmet, illustrating its significance during the Norman invasion. It was famously worn by William the Conqueror himself—a symbol of bravery and resilience. The stories encapsulated in this helmet are what make it more than just armor; it’s a piece of history.
When you choose the Medieval Nasal Steel Helmet, you’re not merely buying a product; you’re investing in a story, a piece that connects you to the past—back to a time of valiant knights and fierce battles. Pair it with one of our chainmail coifs (sold separately) and you have the complete look for your next LARP or reenactment costume.
Additionally, we understand the importance of maintenance, so each helmet is carefully coated with a protective layer of oil when packaged. This layer serves as a safeguard against corrosion (rust) that can tarnish its beauty. Easily wiped off with any oil remover or even a dry cloth, this feature ensures that your helmet remains in pristine condition, ready for your next adventure.
