Possible hardened leather helm for sale

Post by Torvaldr »

This is for the prototype hardened leather helm I made. Right now this is just an exploratory post to see who might be interested in it and how much someone would be willing to pay. I am thinking of offering plain ones like this for about $200 or so. They are made from layered veg tan leather, hardened in my multistage process. Not meant for SCA combat. The one pictured here will fit a head of about 23 inches with some type of padding.

As you can see from the pictures this one has extensive tooling. How much would someone be willing to pay for it?

That is a nice leather helm. :D
I like the art work too.

It is always tough to price out ones art work.
It boils down to what it is worth to a buyer, and what you are willing to let it go for.
Looking at the labor alone it's probably quite substantial.

Best of luck on your sales.

there is a very small female fighter near here who fights in a leather helm, and not SCA but with steel.
her helm is a narrow steel brow band and a nasel with 3 panels of leather that are as hard as steel.
will post a pic when I find it.

she is about 4' 6" and scares large guys. ;)
forges, stake plates, tools and lots more
