Simple "Norman" Nasal helmet - 10 - 11th century

Helmet description

Beautiful replica of the classic nasal helmet, in vogue from the end of the 10th and very widespread in the 11th century. Many similar examples have been found in Eastern Europe. Concerning Western Europe, the Bayeux tapestry (Battle of Hastings, 1066) shows many examples of this helmet.

----

Made of 2mm "st3" steel. Nasal part 3mm thickness.
Everything is hand-forged by quality craftmens. Chainmail is hand-made, from the wire, to the final riveting by a specialized maker. We do not provide any chainmail / helmet from India, or Pakistan!
Produced on order, within 4 weeks only!
*Padded cap no included. You can purchase it separately.

Shipping costs are calculated after the helmet is manufactured.
Indeed, the weight of a helmet varies greatly, depending on the model, the size, and whether or not a chainmail aventail is added.

*Our goal is to charge the customer the actual amount of postage, and not a penny more! It therefore seems more appropriate to us to proceed in this way, rather than to estimate shipping costs arbitrarily, with a margin of safety which would unfairly affect certain customers.
