Here is a Viking spectacle helm that I bought through Albion a long while back. I don't know who made it.

yes, you can see the entire roman on the oxford insitute,you can find it on web, but if you are interessed by reenactment of this period, look my kit here : http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...start=1452

Here are 6 of my eleven helms. The other 5 are more kettle type. These are all SCA built helms. The left-most has an attached grill, the kettle helm next to it has a removable grill (not shown), Next is a visored bascinet (unfinished), a topfhelm, a bascinet w/maille aventail and padded liner, and a pembridge style great helm (which fits snuggly over the bascinet next to it).

Took the words out of my mouth, Foong. But, Terry, did you get the bascinet and Pembridge from the same maker specifically to be used together?

Thought id join in with one pretty helmet and one ugly!
Pretty - raised italian sallet by Per Lillelund.
Ugly - Teutonic Order kettlehat by myself.

I actually prefer the kettlehat. Did you raise it yourself?

The coat of plates was interesting to make and wear, i expected a rather cumbersome peice of kit with the vertical plates, but it actually was very agile to move and fight in. Early armour gets alot of bad press usually...;/

The kettlehat is not raised as much as shaped, its got a rivited "seam" up the back.

Hello,

A few years ago I was really keen on spangenhelms and I made thoughts to make one, but it couldn't come to life, because I got to know with one piece helmets and they proved to be more interesting. Last week I had a bit time and thought: Why not try to make a migration period spangenhelm with a two piece bowl?
So I made it, and this is how I imagine it...
A bit more raw then most replicas but so I like, and imagine them...

The greathelm was made by Luther Anshelm at www.Anshelmarms.com
The bascinet was not made by him. I have had the bascinet for several years and when I got the greathelm, It just happens to be a perfect fit.

Hello all! This is my first post after being a lurker here for a few months. Wonderful website that I have learned so much from.
Hopefully I can post my pics and contribute to this great community.
This is my recently acquired great helm by Ulfburth that I ordered through Koa. The mantle is my very first sewing project and I have since finished adding the trim.
