Mainstays of the Viking era, Spangenhelms are characterized by their construction, whereby steel strips (spangen) are used to join the steel plates of the cap. For strength and safety, the cap this reconstruction by GDFB is virtually one-piece, comprised of two halves, welded together along a back to front centre line. Steel rivets are used to attach the overlying banding and 3mm. medium-flare nose-guard (nasal). Crafted in 16 gauge steel with full leather liner, chin straps, and authentic brass buckle, the GDFB Spangenhelm is battle ready and perfect for the Viking reenactor. Made available in two sizes; Medium AB0399 24-1/4 inch Circumference, and Large AB0400 25-1/2 inch Circumference. The fine workmanship on this Viking Spangenhelm and overlapping construction insures robustness and therefore the best possible protection during battle reenactment.

The Spangenhelm was a popular Viking war helmet design of the Early Middle Ages. The name is of German origin. Spangen refers to the metal strips that form the framework for the helmet and could be translated as clips, and -helm simply means helmet. The strips connect three to six steel or bronze plates. The frame takes a conical design that curves with the shape of the head and culminates in a point. The front of the helmet may include a nose protector (a nasal). Older spangenhelms often include cheek flaps made from metal or leather. Spangenhelms may incorporate chain mail as neck protection. Some spangenhelms include eye protection in a shape that resembles modern eyeglass frames. Other spangenhelms include a full face mask.
