Product description

From the mid-11th century onward, nasal helmets like this one were made from a single piece of metal. This made them stronger but also more expensive than the spangenhelm, which was constructed from multiple parts. These nasal helmets were universally conical in shape until the early 12th century. Helmets of this type remained in use throughout Europe until the end of the 12th century. Interestingly, in medieval manuscripts, nasal helmets like this are always depicted together with a mail coif.

This type of helmet was a further development of the spangenhelm but featured a helmet bowl made from a single piece of steel, making it considerably sturdier. Nasal helmets are depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry (after 1066) and in the Maciejowski Bible (1240). They were widely used during the time of the Crusades. This type of helmet is ideal for medieval, Norman, and even late Viking re-enactment.
