Viking Horned Helmet The horned helmet is the one most widely depicted in Viking folklore. The fearsome animal nature of the mighty Viking warrior was depicted by the wearing of horns attached to his helmet and just the silhouette of this helmet against a darkening sky would strike terror in the heart of an enemy. Although our horned fantasy helmet is called Viking, there is little evidence that Vikings wore horned helmets. No depiction of Viking Age warriors' helmets and no actually preserved helmet has horns. The idea of horned Viking helmets is a latter-day myth created by national romantic ideas in Sweden at the end of the 19th century, blending the Viking Age with glimpses of the Nordic Bronze Age some 2000 years earlier for which actual horned helmets, probably for ceremonial purposes, are attested in both in petroglyphs and the actual finds. | BUY NOW |

Bascinet - 'hounskull' By the middle of the 14th century, most knights discarded the great helm altogether in favor of a fully visored bascinet. The visor was often conical, giving the appearance of a muzzle or a beak. They were sometimes called 'dog faced' (medievally known as a hounskull) or 'pig faced' (a common but strictly modern term). The early versions sometimes had a neck defence of mail called a camail or aventail, while later versions (at the end of the 14th century) often protected the neck with a separate but attached plate assembly, the colletin. The aventail was attached to a leather band, which was in turn attached to the lower border of the bascinet by a series of staples called 'vervelles'. Holes in the leather band were passed over the vervelles, and a waxed cord was passed through the holes in the vervelles to secure it. | BUY NOW |

Jousting Helmet Jousting, is a martial competition between two mounted knights.

The knights usually jousted in a best-out-of-three system. This helmet is a good example of the types in use in the late 15th century. | BUY NOW |

Roman Imperial Gallic - Type G The original example of this distinct type was found in a cave near Hebron, Israel, and as it was probably war-loot of the Jewish Zealots of the Bar Kochba Revolt under Hadrian, can be closely dated.

During the time of the Dacian Wars with Germanic tribes, Imperial Roman soldiers began reinforcing their helmets with added plates and crossbars. These additions added strength along with beauty and protected against the German's heavy swords and axes. | BUY NOW |
