Hello :)

Here's raised flat-topped full-faced helmet. This one is based on the relief from Lyngsjo church (Sweden).
Here's some info about:

I made it because I really like that zig-zag edged visor ...very bizarre :D ...and I really like that period.

The bowl raised in single piece of black steel, 2-2,5 mm thick. The visor 2 mm thick.
Inner size (without padding): 70 cm circumference, 20,5x23,5 cm diameters

Cost including postage (Europe) ...388 Euro

Looks pretty good, Patryk! I am also very interested in this period and had never seen the font from the Lyngsjo church. Thank you for sharing the historical information with the new helmet. If you make another one I would recommend adding more material to the sides of the visor, as suggested in the original carving as well as most other contemporary artwork depicting such helmets.

thanx :)

...abut the visor ,that's why I made as I made (below) ...there's not too many material ...I just added little bit my own style maybe...but general context is the same
I had some problem with the nasal ...but I like simply soloutions :)

I think it's a wonderful achievement! The question of how much material to leave at the outside edge seems to depend on source, as sometimes we see a cross-bar on the nasal without it connecting back at all....

....and at others, forming a rudimentary face mask.

Some of the color depictions do seem to show the brow band as heavily decorated, and/or copper-alloy, like Viktor's example or the Hortus deliciarum copy.

Mart, perhaps I'm just more inclined towards those that have a bit more material around the edges! Those that have the nasals that don't even reach all the way back up to the sides of the face are also very neat, though, and provide an excellent transitional look.

I'm considering starting a thread about what a c. 1200 Eastern Scandinavian man-at-arms would appear like on the battlefield. Between Patryk's lovely reconstruction here and my resurrection of the thread about the inlayed Finnish swords from the era, many other questions spring to mind! Check the main forum... Cheers!

Once again, good luck with your sale, Patryk!
