Post by Wolf »

anyone know the band width? how about the width of the ridge and the weave?

how long is the nasal? looks like eye level.

Information on the Ulltuna or Ultuna helmet is scant. The only article I've been able to find is from something like 1917 and is in Swedish. The helm is a fragment, but is comparable to the Valsgarde helms.

Hi Wolf,

This brow band is 1 5/8" and the front to back and side to side bands are 1 1/2".

I like to make the brow band a little wider to add artistic balance and contrast.

On this helm the brow band is 1 3/4" and the other bands are 1 1/2".

Best of luck on your helm.
