This Spangenhelm has the addition of a facemask giving it much more facial protection than the standard Spangenhelm nasal bar. It is based off of a 13th century original. The Spangenhelm was an easy style of helm to manufacture – its construction is a framework of reinforced strips riveted with plates to fill the open regions. This one is modified by extending this style of construction to cover the face, giving it the facial protection typically afforded by a great helm and easier to create to boot. This is a type of helm that may have been worn by some of the Frankish and Sicilio-Norman knights whilst on Crusade.

This helm is made from 14 gauge steel with riveted construction. The interior of the helm has been blackened and is lined with an integrated leather suspension that with a leather tie so that it can be adjusted to fit. A buckled, integrated leather chin strap keeps the helm securely on the head.

    Very pleased with this helmet. Ordered size L, and it fits well.
    Helm is robust 14 gauge steel and has a good weight to it. Construction is solid with all rivets well peened–nothing loose.
    Liner is of stitched leather, appears to be vegetable tanned cowhide of perhaps 2-3 oz leather.
    Chin strap is of ample thickness, also of vegetable tanned cowhide, of a double layer of 2-3 oz.
    A period buckle in brass completes the chin strap–a detail which I greatly appreciate.

    A well done helmet, great for any Crusades Era kit.
