The famous 8th. Century Valsgarde helmet, found in one of the most important Swedish excavations, illustrates the amazing skills of the Scandanavian craftsmen of the period. This reconstruction replicates the original in exacting detail. This GDFB Valsgarde #5 helmet features hinged steel strips surrounding the back and sides of the helmet and will provide the re-enactor with authentic head neck and shoulder protection.

Includes complete leather suspension, chin straps for a buckled secure and comfortable fit. This GDFB Valsgarde helmet provides a high level of protection and mobility; a perfect choice for the Viking reenactor.

Valsgärde or Vallsgärde is a farm on the Fyris river, about three kilometres north of Gamla Uppsala, the ancient centre of the Swedish kings and of the pagan faith in Sweden. The present farm dates from the 16th century. The farm's notability derives from the presence of a burial site from the Swedish Vendel Age (part of the Iron age (c. 550–793) and the Viking Age); it was used for more than 300 years. The first ship burial is from the 6th century and the last graves are from the 11th century. The site was found and excavated by archaeologists in the 1920s, and before this similar graves had only been found at Vendel, which gave its name to this period of the Scandinavian Iron Age. The graves are princely, and are almost identical to ones found later in England, at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia.
