Looking for Norse Helm...

Kari · Post by **Kari** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 7:41 pm

I am looking for a high quality Norse Helm. I have been having trouble finding one though most of the online armourys. No one seems to have anything in stock, and I do not have time to have one commissioned. I am open to different styles, and designs. If any person or armoury has a Norse/Viking helm to sell, am am very interested. Please send pictures. I am in a hurry. Price is not a concern at this point.

Thank you

Kari

is this for SCA or LH? if it's for LH, master Zanetto here on the archive is selling two raised norman conicals for $450, and $500. a complete steal for what you're getting. EDIT:never mind then-here's the link anyways.

It is for SCA. I should have specified.

I did a quick look around, staying with the higher end armorers that I am familiar with, sticking to in stock gear.

I found only one norse type helm in stock, and it's a little late.

It's definitely high quality, but it might not be what you are looking for.

I also found this on the classifieds. I don't know if the helm sold or not, and I don't know if you are interested in this. It is definitely not a historical design, but it certainly does say "Norseman"

You might also check medieval square. Stacey sometimes puts together Zweihammer Valsgarde 6 kits when he gets bored. They are a very historicaly based design, high on the sex appeal list. He doesn't list any in stock, but he might not have updated the page lately.

Good luck.

PLEASE NOTE: I only checked with the in stock pages of armorers that I know personally, or who have very high reputations with regards to customer service and very prompt shipping. There are excellent helms out there, I am sure, but I didn't find them in my five minute search.

Yeah, Windrose and Knotwolf are the ones I have been looking at. Knotwolf I heard just got back into the swing of things, so there maybe delay there.

Knotwolf currently only has one helm listed on his in stock page, a turkish. But he might have something he hasn't listed yet. It might be worth an email.

I wear a knotwolf that I am very, very happy with.

What timeperiod? Known World Treasures has a blackened Valasgarde in stock (as of the beginning of this month). Not sure exactly who made it. If you have an itty-bitty head, they also have one Master (soon to be Sir) Geoffrey made in stainless steel (Spangenhelm).

If you have to go with ordering we have plenty of really cool styles to choose from....

I have a mils steel norse helm in stock and a stainless Frisian. Both will fit you.

Cheers!

Wow,

I missed Duke Icefalcon. See. It's worth it to shop around.

His reputation is excellent for shipping and customer service. I wear some of his gear (a set of Bazis).

He also sent a friend of mine a helm that a Master German Metalsmith stated was comprised of the hardest steel that he had ever personally met. I was super impressed by that statement, because it it's source.

His graces helmets are bullet proof. I was very happy with mine. Very good construction and a beautiful helmet. I recommend Icefalcon to anyone without hesitation.

The same also goes for Windrose, very solid and beautifuls helms.
