His helmet was more than protection—it was a crown of iron and brass, a declaration of his status and his people's heritage. This ornate helmet is a masterpiece of Anglo-Saxon and Norse design. Crafted from 16-gauge carbon steel with a polished finish, this helmet features a reinforced steel cap with riveted brass bands that trace the contours of the skull. A matching brass nasal guard protects the center of the face, while elongated brass-rimmed cheek guards follow the jawline to offer both protection and visual presence. The helmet is adorned with engraved detailing throughout, including a striking stylized horse motif and traditional floral linework. A real horse hair plume rises from the crown, adding a dramatic and historically inspired flourish. The rear is fitted with a leather neck guard, securely riveted to the helmet for added protection. Inside, a black leather suspension liner and adjustable chin strap provide a comfortable, secure fit for extended wear. This is not a reproduction made for battle alone—it is a statement piece, a crown of the warrior class. The metal surface shows minor patina consistent with age, but the structural integrity is fully intact.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cli\u003e16-Gauge Carbon Steel Construction: Robust steel cap with polished finish and reinforced brass riveted bands.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBrass Adornments \u0026amp; Engraved Detailing: Brass nasal guard, cheek rims, and engraved floral and horse motifs—full of character and historical depth.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eReal Horse Hair Plume: Authentic crest for display or reenactment, adding dramatic presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLeather Neck Guard \u0026amp; Liner: Rear leather neck guard secured with rivets; interior black leather suspension liner and adjustable chin strap.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOverall Condition: Great condition—minor surface patina consistent with storage, structurally sound, and fully functional.
