Period Viking Helmet suspension???

Post by Norman »

Another thread here showed the following page
http://monsieurgeoffrey.faithweb.com/photo.html
Which unfortunately doesn't allow image links.

Hey. is that guy from the Archive? (for some reason he looks familiar)

Anyhow - On that page, scroll down to the fifth picture and he shows the inside of his helmet with a suspension system.

I am wondering whether that system is documented to the Viking period or is just a rational assumption?

Anyone??

That's Jef, who's posting (at the moment) as Voodoo Child. If you email him I'm sure he'll share his reasoning. He likes to act like he's starkers but he's actually a nice guy.
