Product description
This nasal helmet is based on an 11th-century original found in Austria. Today, the original is part of the collection of the National Museum in Vienna.
From the mid-11th century, nasal helmets like this were made from a single piece. This made them sturdier, but more expensive than the spangenhelm, which was made from multiple parts. These nasal helmets were universally conical until the early 12th century. Helmets of this type remained in use across Europe until the late 12th century. In medieval manuscripts, nasal helmets like this are notably always depicted in combination with a chainmail coif.
It is made from 2 mm thick steel and features a 5 mm wide nasal bar. The helmet includes a linen lining.
