Hello out there, i was wondering if anyone knew where i could find a similar peice for reenacting (2 part spangen with the detail at the apex and nasal coming down both ends) i have seen something similar on tim noyes website but without that practical embellishment. my old helm is rather heavy and uncomfortable and want this if i can get one!

thanks for any help, and if there isn't one out there,there is pronvenance and it looks very practical somone should make one!

looks like i got the caption wrong! i meant the bloke on the right. :S

Is he wearing the helm backwards, with the nasal in back? Or does the helm have a neck guard?

This guy is cooking, he doesn't need nasal so he might have turned the helm backwards so that it wouldn't bother him while cooking and eating.

The other panels clarify that it is a helm with both nasal and neck guard

I agree, it would be a neat looking helm to have reproduced,
Good luck in your quest,

Hi,

Ivor Lawton, many moons ago made a speculative helm based on Sigurd's helm for a friend. Check out this Regia page for an image of the helm.

Tim Noyes of Heron Armoury also sells a similair model;

Oops,

Sorry I see you already mentioned Tim. I'm sure he would be happy to undertake such a commission,
