Looking for a solid first helm for under $150. My profile is viking period. I'm using all loaner gear for the time being and will gradually replace withmy own stuff as i can afford. I'm based onthe southside of Indianapolis if you live close let me know.

Items i'm not going to make Helm "Viking style if possible" and Gloves Milanese Mittens

Let me know if you got anything.

I have a 14g Hjalmr Spagenhelm that looks similar to this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21215018@N ... hotostream except I believe mine is stainless. It's built like a TANK and I picked it up for $100 about a year ago, but it's too tall for my neck. Fully the padded it's still sitting on my shoulders.
If you're interested I'll get some pictures and measurements for you.

yes please and if you have an actual picture that would be helpful

I can make you a set of mitten gauntlets from Talbots Milanese pattern. Be around $125. Let me know via pm.

Hi, yes get a Hjalmr helm if at all possible. I sell patterns for hidden plastic armor if you want to make your own for cheap. Just do a search for hidden armor patterns and youll see a thread on them.

Take care

Consider Ironmonger's munitions helm: http://ironmongerarmory.com/stock-helms ... inet-helms
These give great protection and visibility. Also, they won't rust- most starter helms look like old buckets after a few months, this won't. It is also worth mentioning that Ironmonger as fantastic customer service.

Hjalmr, Bokalo, Ironmonger. They will get you started like no ones business
