CLASSIC NORMAN MEDIEVAL HELMET
Helmets can really stand by themselves as a single, complete demonstration piece of armor from a given era -- since a great proportion of participants on Medieval battlefields probably had a helmet and nothing more for defense. Helmets are considered as one of the most universal forms of armor. Offering a defensive covering for the head, helmets protect the head, face and sometimes the neck from the cutting blows of swords, spears, arrows and other weapons.

This is a Norman style of Helmet. The classic Norman Helmet is based on the type worn as they conquered England and Sicily and during the Crusades. It is a banded helm with a nasal to protect the nose and generally to deflect blows away from the face. This helmet provided a glancing surface to blows and was light, airy and comfortable - important features for warriors wearing them for days on end. Highly authentic in design, this full sized wearable collector's piece measures 10”x 8”, and weighs approx 2.7 lbs. Constructed of heavy 18 gauge steel.
