Gjermundbu Steel Helmet - Viking Helmet
Immerse yourself in the Viking Age with our Gjermundbu Steel Viking Helmet – a true testament to authentic Norse craftsmanship. Originating from 10th-century central Norway, this steel helmet features a round cap, a mail aventail for neck protection, and a distinctive spectacle guard forming a mask around the nose and eyes.
Evoking the design similarities of the Vendel period helmets, our Gjermundbu helmet stands out as a unique representation of Viking headgear. Contrary to popular belief, historical evidence suggests that Vikings primarily used leather helmets in battle, dispelling the myth of horned helmets. While helmets with metal horns may have been used for ceremonial purposes in earlier millennia, there is no evidence supporting their use in actual Viking combat.
