The Spangenhelm is based on an 11th century piece. This style of conical helmet construction, whereby overlapping metal straps or spangen were riveted to dished metal plates to form the skull cap, is known to date back to the 6th century and was used as late as the 15th century. This Spangenhelm, with its solid nasal and reinforced eyebrows is of an 11th ~ 13th century style. Many can be seen on the famous Bayeaux Tapestry, which records scenes from the 1066 A.D. Battle of Hastings. This Spangenhelm reconstruction is crafted in antiqued stainless steel. It is provided with a padded liner and leather chin strap and is fully wearable.
