Looking for the ultimate Viking helmet for your next raid? The Gjermundbu helmet discovered in 1943 near Haugsbygd in Norway is technically the only complete Viking battlefield helmet found in Scandinavia. It is dated from the second half of the 10th century and is displayed at the Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo. If you’re looking for the perfect companion for your Viking battlefield outfit, this FULLY FUNCTIONAL is definitely the helmet you need. It works well if you are reenacting a true Scandinavian Viking and not a Varangian / Rus / Eastern Viking. It is HANDMADE from 16-gauge mild steel, lined with a comfortable and secure GENUINE LEATHER LINER. It is available in 68 cm, ideal to fit almost all head sizes. A sturdy chin strap and brass buckle closure will keep it in place during the battle. Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
