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.

Re: WTB Starter Gear
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.

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

Re: WTB Starter Gear
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.
