Slavic style spangenhelm
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 4:34 pm
I just wanted to share some pictures of the first helmet I have made (about a year ago). It is based on the Spangenhelm from Batajnica.
The pattern I used as a starting point is from here:

The nasal and spectacle are my own design. It is all made from 14 Gauge mild steel.
The helmet just before final riveting.
Unfortunately the surface coating I used removed the blue shine and left it looking like copper.
As you can see this is not an SCA helmet but for blunt steel reenactment.
