Gjermundbu Helmet - Viking Helmet

Delve into the depths of Viking history with our Gjermundbu Leather Viking Helmet – a true testament to 10th-century Norse craftsmanship. Originating from central Norway, this round-capped helmet boasts a mail aventail for neck protection and a distinctive spectacle guard forming a mask around the nose and eyes.

While Vikings are often associated with horned helmets, historical evidence suggests that they may have primarily used leather helmets in battle. Our Gjermundbu helmet, a reconstruction revealing the entire design, stands as a unique representation of Viking headgear. It dispels the myth of metal horns, which may have been used for ceremonial purposes in earlier millennia, but there is no evidence supporting their use in actual Viking combat.
