Gjermundbu Viking Helmet with Ear Guards – 10th Century Norse Helmet:

\n
\n \nThe Gjermundbu Helmet is one of the most important things from the Viking Age. It was found in a burial mound in Ringerike, Norway and it is the only Viking helmet that has been completely preserved. Dated back to the 10th century. Its rounded cap, segmented construction and distinctive face protection like glasses show that it was made by real Norse craftsmen. \n \nThis version has ear guards, which are based on Viking reenactment and modern combat needs. They give extra protection to the sides while keeping the traditional shape and style. It is a great helmet for Viking reenactors, LARP players, SCA fighters (depending on gauge), film studios, theaters and people who collect historical items who want a reliable helmet that looks like it came from the past. \n \nArmor Arena sells this helmet in a variety of materials and thicknesses, including 14, 16, 18 and 20-gauge mild steel and 18-gauge stainless steel for people who want a helmet that won't rust. You can choose between a Dull Finish for a realistic battlefield look or a Mirror Finish for a polished display look for each helmet. \n \nThe helmet has inside foam padding to make it more comfortable to wear for long periods of time and a strong leather chin strap with a steel buckle to make sure it fits well. Every piece is made with care, so reenactors can count on them to last and be well-made. \n \nArmor Arena always promises the best products at the lowest prices. This Gjermundbu helmet is one of the best choices for Viking fans all over the world. \n \n
