Norman Spangenhelm for sale

[schreiber]

The crown jewel of Schreiber's 2012 finishing old projects effort: a Norman helm.
It's based on something:
http://www.time-lines.co.uk/norman-four ... 032-0.html
Loosely, of course. The cheek plates and nasal are conjecture. I also didn't flush-set the rivets for obvious reasons.
I really like the idea from an SCA standpoint because the seams go right on the sweet spots of the helm, so there's a double layer of metal right where it's going to get hit most.

Construction is 14g mild with 1/4" bars. Back slats are 1/8x3/4.
Inside and bars have been painted.

Now for the bad news: this is a size small. I've had it on four different heads all around 21". My wife's head is 21" and she actually has plenty of room with a 5/8" liner inside (not included). If necessary I'll collect the sizes of the other heads it's been on.

Price is $450.

One more, I want to show that the nasal is also formed subtly:

Not even a "ooh how pretty, I wish I had (the money|a pinhead)"?
I suppose everyone else is unloading their closets right now......

it is a nice looking hat, i do not unfortunately have either the required "head size" or the "wallet size" (one is to large, the other too small"

Note my sig line.....

I know nobody's going to buy it, but like my dad always says, the worst you can do is say hell no....

[schreiber]

How about a "It's past Christmas now and everyone's already gotten a paycheck and this is still available" bump....

I do trades, too!

Let's also drop the price to $375.
